4.2.0 is a pretty old version.

Based on the traceback, I would think this is the
"bbtest-net segfaults on SSL cert expire 2054" bug 
reported by the Debian folks in 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=503111

This bugreport also includes a patch that you can use if you must
remain at version 4.2.0. But I would really recommend that you
update to at least 4.2.3, which is the last 4.2.x release.
