SOL session is getting disconnected with "Segmentation fault" message (see below) when we try to power on the system. This is seen with latest IPMI version 1.8.18 and SOL was connected using usesolkeepalive opetion. There is no particular point where SOL disconnects during boot. Below is one instance where it got disconnected.

Core dump for the failure is attached below.
