Bug#1000782: plink2: autopkgtest regression: Segmentation fault

[Paul Gevers <elbrus@debian.org>]

Source: plink2
Version: 2.00~a3-211011+dfsg-1

Severity: serious

Usertags: regression

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of plink2 the autopkgtest of plink2 fails in 
testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of plink2 
from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In 
tabular form:

                       pass            fail
plink2                 from testing    2.00~a3-211011+dfsg-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration to testing [1]. Can 
you please investigate the situation and fix it?
