Comment(by stippi):
The next logical step would be to add printfs in the
CustomRefFilter::Filter() function to track down where exactly it crashes.
One possible source of the crash is the "beos_stat" structure which is
passed to the method. This is a compatibility stucture that is supposed to
have the same size and fields as the old BeOS R5 "stat" structure. It's
possible that the binary compatibility mechanism that has been implemented
somehow got broken in the meantime, or never worked quite right in the
first place, I don't know. One could print the object's size and track
whether methods, that are passed this structure are indeed the intended
versions, and not the new ones that expect a regular "stat" structure
(which is bigger). But other sources for a crash are possible.
