Hmmmm, segfaulting, in my experience, tends to indicate binary
incompatibility -- did you install the pinfo you're using from a binary
package, because if you did, it might be worth trying to compile it from
source.  That way, it will be using all the right libraries, and not
getting upset enough to segfault.  (Of course, if it segfaults *after*
you've compiled it from source, then I'd say it was likely it had a
bug...)
