Well finally caught what I think is the package the segfault kicks on 
expat. Though not sure what I should look for to be able to sort it out 
but will see where I get.

Though I still get the gcc and bash messages in the QA log. If anyone is 
willing to share some info on what or how I can figure out how to find 
what causes the segfault in the recipe or if I am even catching the 
correct one.

Thank you
