Hmm, could you please run "avahi-daemon --debug" in a terminal (as
root of course) and then let it run? As soon as Avahi
crashes/terminates you should then see some kind of message in that
terminal that explains what is going on.

Even better would be to run it inside gdb and then get a backtrace
when it crashes:
