}I've seen this but I though it was fixed by the last commits :(

I'd hope it might be.  Just to be clear, I'm using 1.5 branch, not
1.5[ABCDE].  It looked like most of the changes had been pulled up to
the branch, though.

I recreated the lfs filesystem again, just in case, and mounted it again.
It didn't crash in the first minute or so of being mounted, so I rebooted
lyra to see what would happen.  I get dropped to single user mode because
fsck_lfs can't deal with the filesystem:
:~# fsck_lfs -d /dev/raid0d
** /dev/rraid0d
sb0 970434535, sb1 970434535
dev_bsize = 512
lfs_bsize = 8192
lfs_fsize = 1024
lfs_frag  = 8
INOPB(fs) = 64
maxino=682
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This is very repeatable.

I recompiled fsck_lfs so I could use the unstripped version.
I'm not very familiar with gdb, but I did get this:
# gdb ./fsck_lfs fsck_lfs.core

I assumed that since the machine was shut down cleanly, the filesystem
was more or less ok (since nothing had been written to it yet), so I
went ahead and mounted it.  It hasn't crashed in the last five minutes
or so, and now I'm copying NetBSD's pkgsrc xsrc & src to see what happens.
I'm running lfs_cleanerd in verbose debugging mode, in case there are
things to see.
