I just ran into the same problem and found that this happens due to
column_maxline.diff which allocates a buffer that is too small because
it implicitly assumes sizeof(wchar_t) == 2 which is wrong.
The attached patch should fix this issue.

There is a buffer overflow in the column(1) command.
One way to trigger it is to give it 512KB of zeroes:
$ cat /dev/zero|head -c 524288 |column
*** buffer overflow detected ***: column terminated
