Also, I forgot to point out: your "if" line is executing each of
the shared libraries that you find.  Every one of them matches the
grep check, and since you enclosed the check in a command substitution,
the output of grep (which is the pathname) is *executed* as a command.

That's probably where your segfault is happening.

Once you remove this completely unnecessary and incorrectly written
check, the segfaults from running random shared library files as
commands will stop happening.
