Data on stack, overflow of auto variable.  Once that happens, all bets
are off for stack decoding.  ;-)  What CPU type?  Big or little endian?

The data is "as\n0" and "m dn" with a "\n4\n." in there as well.
Would like more if possible.

Yes, it _looks_ like metaserver solicitation packet format, but I could
not be sure yet.  See if the problem goes away when you remove the
.metaservers file and restart the daemon?
