If the locale is not valid, it does give an error:

  % LANG=fd schroot -h
  E: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

However, this does exit with an error, rather than segfaulting.

Do you get any error messages prior to the segfault?

If you run with --debug=notice, does this show anything else?

If you run with gdb:
  % gdb /usr/bin/schroot
  (gdb) run --debug=notice [options]

What do you get?  If it segfaults, type

  (gdb) bt

and let me know what is shown.  (You might need to rebuild with
debugging symbols to get a full backtrace.  Just comment out dh_strip
in debian/rules and rebuild.)

This is fine.
