I suggest you provide lots more details.
Probably
  mdadm -Dsv

Damn, I meant to say "-Dsvv" (2 v's) but it doens't really matter,
I think that is a good enough picture.
However....

I have found the following in my logs,
Jun  9 17:01:50 lloyd kernel: [   52.912904] mdadm[2656]: segfault at
0000000000000004 rip 000000000041724c rsp 00007ffff99d9b30 error 4

I suspect this is the real problem.
Which version of mdadm (mdadm -V)?

If these arrays are being assembled by the initrd, you would need
to find out what mdadm is in the initrd, though it is probably
the same as in /sbin.  What distro.  What kernel version?
