Stefan,

attached patch to serf 1.2.1 should solve this particular type of
crash you reported.

The patch is made against a serf 1.2.x working copy as follows:
$ svn merge ^/trunk -c 1943,1944

The patch implements an alternative fix for the issue that does not
require a new API, so if it works for you we can include it in 1.2.2.
