Unlikely. If the actual program data was corrupted, it would SIGSEGV
regardless of how it's executed.

I'd guess that the program has a bug, and depending on the arguments and
environment (especially the latter will be different), it shows up or
not. Things like not having a LOCALE set in either case or similar.
