Additionally to following Michael Bank's hints you could also use GDB to
track down when it's faulting.

Run it like this and post the lines here.

#v+
# gdb --args console [...]
[...]
(gdb) run
[...]
[Segmentation fault.]
(gdb) bt
[...]
#v-

If you're one a Debian GNU/Hurd system, you'll have to have the hurd-dbg
package installed, and perhaps libc0.3-dbg as well.
