First, read https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:support to find where to get support (hint: Synchronet-related conferences on DOVE-Net, USENET, or Fidonet).

Second, most likely, it's a problem with the JavaScript engine (libmozjs). You can narrow it down through a process of elimination, e.g. disables [services] (set AutoStart=false) in your ctrl/sbbs.ini file and see if the issue goes away, at least for startup. Synchronet relies on a lot of JavaScript these days, so it'll likely segfault later when the terminal server tries to execute a JS module.

And lastly, to root-cause the segfault:
