It doesn't freeze anymore but still segfaults.
Created attachment 14925 [details] wpa_supplicant/dhclient with rt2x00-2.1.0
rt2x00-2.1.0 is broken, please try 2.1.2 which contains many fixes for (among others) segmentation faults.
n you confirm that the patch from comment #2 of bug #10002 fixes it for you
