Now that you know which tar you're using, :-)
time to drag out the standard debugging process for
segmentation faults.

1) get the sources

2) compile, adding "-g"

2a) If you get any compiler warnings, fix them
    and send the diffs to the maintainer.
    Often fixing the compiler warnings will
    fix a seg fault.

3) Try it again.  If it still seg faults,
   run it under a debugger and get a stack backtrace.
