I have tried to get the latest version of Knot running on my Raspberry Pi 2.

Unfortunately does Raspian only have packages for an old version. I updated my Pi to debian jessie. There is actually a version of Raspian based on jessie. That version of Raspian does come with slightly newer packages, but still not up to date.

So I compiled my own version. 2.1.0-dev 

Everything works fine until the moment I try to start knotd. IT will crash with a segfault.

I did recompile with --enable-debug but I do not get any debug output in syslog.

I did run with gdb and got the following information

SYSLOG:

It seems that the scanner thread is somehow missing. But why? Anybody with experience with knot on armhf?
