First I've heard of this problem, and it's hard to debug without more 
information.

If the problem appeared in v0.2.18, you could just say "git checkout v0.2.17" 
and see if that causes the segfaults to go away.

If you updated your Julia as well, of course the segfault could be there.

There are instructions on capturing backtraces in various places, for example 
the FAQ and (the nicest): https://gist.github.com/staticfloat/6188418
