Sorry, I have no idea.  But I asked because one of the last changes to
dvipdfm was a patch to *prevent* a segfault when used in a timezone with
half-hour offset from UTC.  It's in the same source file, but at a
different place than indicated by the trace, and I don't see the
relation ATM.  You can look at it at

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-tex/tetex-bin/trunk/debian/patches/patch-dvipdfm-timezone-crash?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

The source file is
