Same configuration runs here, on bare metal. Maybe you run a VM? Just a shot in the dark, it looks like a bug in libffi, and there are more recent versions like 3.0.5, so if you feel like hacking this bug, I would try if libffi 3.1 from [GitHub - atgreen/libffi: A portable foreign-function interface library.](https://github.com/atgreen/libffi/) gives a different picture.

Yeah its a Vmware VM but i have a couple of ES 1.1 sitting in another Cluster without Issues, are there known issues with running ES in a VM ? Thanks Jörg!

There are so many VMs but, together with native code paths like JNA + mlockall + libffi etc. the chance that something odd breaks down the road is always there... With Vmware VM and mlockall, not everything can work like on bare metal. Memory management strongly depends on the host OS settings. The guest can not control the host resource management, memory pinning, swap etc. Beside this: bug is bug, libffi should not break with SIGSEGV, in any case.
