[strongSwan] charon crash right after xauth+rsa client connects (strongswan-5.0.4, ubuntu 12.04)

Not sure about the protocol for replying to one's own message on a mailing list, but I solved my own problem.
The problem was (not surprisingly) my own stupidity.
I had been playing around with configure PREFIX and EPREFIX and I think I ended up installing the strongswan plugins in a different place, so it was crashing when trying to use xauth-eap.
So, doing a complete make uninstall, make clean, manually cleaning up any previous droppings I had left in /lib or /usr/lib or wherever, and then rebuilding seems to have corrected it. --Ewan

Subject: [strongSwan] charon crash right after xauth+rsa client connects (strongswan-5.0.4, ubuntu 12.04)




Hello,
I would be very grateful for hints which will help me stop banging my head on the the keyboard.
I have just built a new server (Ubuntu 12.04 x64, strongSwan 5.0.4 built from source). It appears to load the configs OK, listcerts etc looks like certs are being loaded, and log messages indicate that the client certs are being accepted, but right after xauth, charon crashes.
There is a stack frame trace output in the logs:

Config files (they do work at last as far as loading OK  -- I may have fat-fingered something when "anonymizing" them though):

/etc/strongswan.conf:
I have just turned on all the modules that are visible in /usr/lib/ipsec/plugins/libstrongswan-*.so in order to manually be able to turn them off one at a time looking for the problem (disabling xauth made it not crash, but doesn't prove its a problem with xauth, because the connection is obviously not getting established then).
Note: eth0:0 is 1.2.3.4

Please somebody help? 
Thanks in advance,
Ewan
