You surely mean,
echo -ne "\033[H\033[J"
Otherwise -e will produce a blank line at the top of the screen as apposed
to ctrl-l which does not.
A possable cause for the segfault could be a problem in /etc/termcap as
well as some ncurses conflict.
One way to find the cause would be using gdb, however i will leave that
explanation to someone more capeable than myself.
