/etc/init.d/sshd start
Starting sshd: /etc/init.d/sshd: line 105: 19128 Segmentation fault

- In addition, when trying to start
ntpd, seeing the segmentation fault message:
/etc/init.d/ntpd start
ntpd: Synchronizing with time server: [ OK ]
Starting ntpd: /bin/bash: line 1: 19148 Segmentation fault (core
dumped) ntpd -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid
