Yep... it segfaults for me too.

An `strace' looked like it was cribbing on a strange ioctl call, or
something like that.

This problem goes away when you recompile your kernel *without* extended
Real Time Clock support.

Actually I believe that on the Dell portable we have here, it still
segfaults, even without RTC support.  If we back off to an older
version of util-linux, the problem goes away.
