The problem is triggered when an AI is started, so you can work around it by disabling AIs.

Are there any messages just before the crash; can you paste them here? You should be able to trigger the bug by typing start_ai in the console of the dedicated server.

Can you be more specific about what "special" Gentoo things you are doing for compilation?

We've tried to reproduce this bug on a Gentoo installation with beta2 (dedicated server, Polish language, no AIs) but failed. Same for a Debian installation.

Ah... an 'iconv' issue. That's why it's unreproducable for us.

Off-topic: Don't think you would know either, but I'm still wondering why Gentoo 'forces' iconv. Why is it the only Linux OS that needs it?

The power of gentoo it that it let you decide, you can easily turn iconv off by:
# USE="-iconv" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv openttd
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
