I noticed this too. The daemon code that (possibly) forks efsd into the
background is definitely run at most once, so I think this is
thread-related.

You can try to have some fun and use "efsd -f -d -t > logfile" and find
out what's wrong :) I'll add the same code that Eterm uses for
automatically producing backtraces when efsd segfaults, because
debugging can be painful because auf the threadedness. Should be there
in a few days, I'm busy with other things right now.
