strace perhaps shows some more illuminating results; I suspect the
SEGV is due to a failed ioctl.  (This is a different run than the above,
obviously.)

1265267921.566623 ioctl(8, 0xc020645e, 0x7fffe2196980) = 0
1265267921.566944 ioctl(8, 0x400c645f, 0x7fffe21969a0) = 0
1265267921.567272 brk(0x20e7000)        = 0x20e7000
1265267921.567602 ioctl(8, 0x40046460, 0x7fffe21969a0) = 0
1265267921.567922 ioctl(8, 0xc010645b, 0x7fffe2196990) = 0
1265267921.568269 ioctl(8, 0xc020645e, 0x7fffe2196980) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
