  du program crashes on /var/lib

  du aborts when run in /var and /var/lib, but not in any of the subdirectories of /var/lib
  I tried rebooting with linux ... init=/bin/bash to run xfs_repair on the /var/file system and it found no errors.
  After the repair command, I mounted /var and ran du again with no errors.
  However once I rebooted into the full O/S, du aborted again in /var and /var/lib.
  The du and sudo du both abort, but non-privileged du also dumps core.
