well, I tried (with a fresh core, so the addresses are different than 
the previous one, but the result is the same):

Core was generated by `./botphone -c /home/luca/.linphonerc'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Oh well, I can always run the program under "valgrind --tool=none" :-P
