Right, so it probably isn't a memory error.

So it is a bug in this once program.  But, I you should check out the
stack trace in gdb with the 'bt' command.  It could very well be a zip
bug, as I have reported many in zip, some on amd64.  If you are
getting lots of segfaults in other programs, it could be possible that
your libc has been corrupted.  I would try something like this.
Reinstall all the installed applications on the system.  In
Debian/Ubuntu's APT, I would do this...

$ sudo aptitude reinstall ~i~Afeisty

There must be a similar command for yum, right?  Where are the yum
experts?  That will ensure that you have replaced all the binaries on
your disk with presumed good builds.  The above command says
"reinstall all packages currently marked as installed in the feisty
archive"...

I wouldn't do that yet...
