When I've logged in I create my character (or select it in the subsequent attempts) it then goes to the "Buy Ship" screen. As soon as it gets to that the game crashes with a Seg fault. When I looked in the errors.log this is what is there:

Hmm... looks liked this is fixed by changing the config file to the following:

[refgl]
doshaders=0
dovertexbuffers=0

Have you tried the 4496 linux NVidia drivers? SIGABRTs have been pretty much universally been buggy NVidia drivers.
