Mysterious xtrabackup segfault problem solved

I’ve been battling with a mysterious problem for about a month or so where running xtrabackup from a cron job to do a full database backup would mysteriously fail when running on Sunday night, but would run fine when run by hand or when run in the cron at some other time. It would always fail at the same place in the database backup, but only leave the mysterious error [11592490.
