have you tried using gdb to get a useful backtrace? I.e. try:

gdb --args procinfo -f

After the crash, the GDB prompt will be shown and you can type:

(gdb) bt

This will show a backtrace (stack of functions called until that
point). Note that you may need to install debug info files (*-dbg
packages on Debian/Ubuntu) for at least glibc.
