According to the -V255 out the segfault occurs in close_md() from md.c.
The gdb backtrace suggests the problem is with mhash_deinit() for
MHASH_WHIRLPOOL. Since aide has already scanned several files, I suspect
a problem with libmhash. Try taking the whirlpool hash out of the group
definitions. If the problem goes away it might be related to that hash only.
