Well, there are two destructive effects of the bug:

1. segmentation fault of the child process,
2. removal of the socket.

Nb. the *immediate* cause that makes any further analyses not possible is
trivial: lack of the socket and so lack of communication with sophie daemon
process (which runs happily and is not bothered any more after the error
event).
