	In the clients top level source directory 

touch .devel .debug
make clobber
./configure
make
make install

that enables debugging and gdb symbols. Assuming the segfault is producing a 
core (it may not if coresizelimit is set to 0, in which case you need to 
increase that to unlimited), then run the command again and when it segfaults
run

gdb rahisto core.file
>where

will give information on what caused the core and we can go from there.
