systemd-journald crashed with signal 7

[Christian Kirbach]

I am not sure how I triggered this.
What I can say is that journalctl does not find any journals to show.

nazgul@rivendell:~$ journalctl
No journal files were found.

Did you actually boot with systemd as PID1? Note that this isn't supported in Ubuntu 14.10 (only upstart). On current vivid, running "journalctl" under upstart just exits cleanly with 1. Can you reproduce this crash easily, i. e. does it still happen on your system if you run journalctl? (the stack trace isn't very helpful, I'm afraid).

Confirm that issue on Vivid i386 booted with systemd, but without crashing:
- 'journalctl' does not find the journal
-'sudo journalctl' does (lp:1414409)

This is fixed in Ubuntu Vivid (and systemd/journal are not supported in 14.10 anyway).
