report it in the gentoo bugzilla. you'll probably be asked for extra information, so you might as well do some debugging first: run ps in gdb and when it aborts, get some information like: 'bt', 'info reg', 'x/16i $pc', 'x/16x $sp'. you can also enable coredumping and run the above commands on the core (in this case it's better to disable randomization on ps).
