So, can you check/paste what is happening while ENC
parsing IKE_SA_INIT response for SA payload. You can get it from charon.log
with strongswan.conf setting as in http://wiki.strongswan.org/issues/184

If you see that, charon restarts just after that, following a error message
something like "killing ourself, received critical signal", this 
confirms the
SIGSEGV issue.

Thanks,
Gowri Shankar
