I've worked out that it will crash if LANG is not set to an installed
language, and none of these language packs is installed (listed in search

-en      (01)
-??      (44)
-de      (49)
external (99)

Oddly enough it worked without problems for me.  I have these packages
installed; maybe one will help you?
