I can simplify causing this coredump this even more.

Start cfservd with -F -d
On a client machine run cfagent -v -q  you'll see debug trawl on both screens.
On the client, edit /etc/hosts and add a blatantly false entry for the 
client at the top of the file. For example "10.4.0.6 foobar"  works nicely 
for me.
Re-run cfagent -v -q
Watch cfservd coredump.

Can you confirm that 2.0.4pre fixes this issue?
