Thanks for the report.  Do you have libsigsegv installed?  If not, would 
you mind also testing with installed, as it may be able to handle stack 
overflow better?  If libsigsegv helps, then it would be nice to compare 
the difference between the gnulib and libsigsegv approach to see what 
gnulib is missing.  Also, do you feel comfortable using a debugger to 
try and trace what happens in a stack overflow, which might explain this 
crash?

Also, would you mind running 'make -C tests check' so we can see how the 
gnulib unit tests fare on your platform?
