Odd, this doesn't happen for me. I removed my .irssi directory and then started 
it again and loaded silc plugin and created a new passphrase, and my directory 
now looks like this:

[1] micah at lillypad> ls -al .irssi

I believe this segmentation fault is a result of you typing your password 
incorrectly. I think this is a known problem. I get the segfault when I type my 
password wrong, but if I do it correctly, everything works fine.

Or are you not even being prompted for a passphrase?
