That's interesting. My options:

slrn 1.0.3
S-Lang Library Version: 2.3.1
Operating System: FreeBSD

COMPILE TIME OPTIONS:
 Backends: +nntp +slrnpull +spool
 External programs / libs: -canlock -inews +ssl -uudeview +iconv
 Features: +decoding +emphasized_text +end_of_thread +fake_refs
+gen_msgid -grouplens -msgid_cache +piping +rnlock +spoilers -strict_from
 Using 64 bit integers for article numbers.
     
DEFAULTS:
Default server object:     nntp
Default posting mechanism: nntp
       
# Options for slrn-1.0.3a
_OPTIONS_READ=slrn-1.0.3a
_FILE_COMPLETE_OPTIONS_LIST=DEVIEW DOCS NLS SSL
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=DEVIEW
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=DOCS
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=NLS
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=SSL

I set my configure options to be like yours, make deinstall clean
distclean install and it still segfaults. In the meantime, compiling
slrn from the git repo, the resulting installed binary works without
segfaulting. 

The port also segfaults in the same way on a hardenedbsd system. I'll
file a bug.

thanks,
