You are running "simon" through gdb, not "simond". But "simond" (the
server component) is the one that crashed.

Please try again by first disabling the server auto start (like
described in my last email) and then explicitly starting simond through
gdb.

simon crashed? Are you sure? Your original email reported a crash in
simond, not simon. I can also not see anything immediatly problematic
with this valgrind log.

I'm afraid I don't understand: What do you mean by rebuilding simon with
the 11.10 package? What was not recognized?

Maybe. The 12.04 package was actually created by a Simon user who wanted
to get it running on 12.04 - at least for him it worked but there might
still be some lingering issues.
