Dropbox Linux Segmentation Fault

Question

Everything worked great for a year, and the server was untouched. All of a sudden my automation file transfers depending on Dropbox didn't work anymore. The dropbox tray icon is unavailable so I try to run the daemon and get segmentation fault. So I tried to reinstall:

$ rm -rf ~/.dropbox
$ cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -
$ ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

And still get segmentation fault, how do I fix this?

This is not an appropriate use of Dropbox. Use git or some other reasonable deployment strategy. — Michael Hampton, May 20 '15 at 06:11
uninstall dropbox, time to try a good old version of bittorrent sync — Level1Coder, May 20 '15 at 06:29
Use strace to see where the daemon fails. This will narrow down your search. You can also post the strace result here. — Konrad Gajewski, May 20 '15 at 11:43

Interestingly enough, I increased the physical RAM from 4GB to 8GB, and Dropbox is starting up without segmentation fault anymore.
