This segfault is probably the first-frame-causes-segfault
bug, but since we have not heard anything on it since
January I cannot confirm either way.  It will probably be
fixed in 0.9.13, but regardless I am marking this bug as
invalid.

I find this bug report extremely confusing, and have no idea
what could possibly cause it.  A backtrace might be useful...

Ignore the first paragraph, according to the amount of
wasted memory dmesg shows me it is plain wrong.

Your problem can be solved by disabling High Memory Support,
as it is only of use if your system has >1GiB RAM.

That doesn't solve our problem, though.

I suggest using a technique stol^H^H^H^Hinspired by kahakai:
on Segfault, we should start something like gdb -x foo
/usr/bin/tvtime, with foo containting backtrace, list and quit.
