I'm experiencing also problems using it, but it's not segfaulting. Using 
a svn2130 build grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy create a device.map with 
proper content like this:
(hd0) /dev/sda
But a svn2137 build (exactly the same BandiPat uses) creates this 
content, which might not be wrong, but at least the most important part 
my HDD is missing:
(fd0) (null)

Probably this problem was introduced by revision 2133 and obviously 
wasn't fixed in rev 2134 - 2137 and in 2138 - 2140 I can see nothing 
which might fix this.

It would be great if somebody could have a look what could cause this 
problem. Maybe davem as the author of that revision.
If you need any additional information give me a yell and I'll try my 
best to provide it.
==============

Decided to start a new topic more fitting to this problem.  Sorry for 
what looks like a double posting.

I just tested on one machine, running grub-mkdevicemap -v from the 
shell, which resulted in a segfault and blank device.map file in /boot/grub!

Looks like some bug was introduced after svn2130 in the file.

Thanks devs for your attention to this one.
