Not sure if everything here can be trusted, but the 

  salt=0x55559260 <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x55559260>,

in the backtrace indicates some problem with the salt passed down fron
the nettle-pbkdf2 tool to the nettle library functions.

It's allocated as

  salt = strdup (argv[0]);

at line 146 in tools/nettle-pbkdf2.c (after an argv += optind). I note
that there's no check of the return value, but if strdup fails it should
return NULL, which would be a different invalid address.

You may want to examine the values of those variables in the debugger or
with debug printouts. E.g, try this patch.

And operating system, please?
