Well, if the error is indeterminate, then I would start to suspect your
hardware. Errors such as this often indicate bad memory, in my
experience. Getting segfaults all the time is a classic example of this.
Get hold of memtest86 (http://www.teresaudio.com/memtest86/) and give your
memory a good going over.
Running crashme off a boot floppy might also be, ah, interesting...
