Although I can confirm the branch distance issue with your .config, I 
don't see the above.  Thus, some
debugging on your part would be needed to find out what's going on.

There should be info about the segmentation fault in your system log.  
Gdb can tell you which application
faulted but without a debug version, it will be hard to tell what's 
happening.  Failing command would need
debugging.
