The segfault occurs only on tp/Texinfo/Convert/HTML.pm:

$ xgettext tp/Texinfo/Convert/HTML.pm
Segmentation fault

Versions 0.18.2 and 0.19.4 don't crash.  As all the *.pm files
in tp/Texinfo/Convert/ don't contain any strings marked for
translation, maybe the gettext changelog entry that I mentioned
earlier did document the fix for this crash anyway.
