Segfaults are (almost) never due to user errors. Unless you did
something truely wierd or forced an install its the developers fault :)

It could be that your system networking config is a bit odd. Verisons of
liblo < 0.16, which the DSSI test code depends on, segfaulted under some
condititons.

Unfortunatly I cant remember the fix, but hopefully someone here can...

You could just upgrade liblo, but it would be good to get your netowrking
config sorted out for the future, assuming you have a network.

If upgrading liblo doesnt fix it then please send a gdb backtrace, mail me
offlist if you dont know how to do that.
