 	Slackware 14.2 64bit .  In my case just using both of

 	SET CPU MODEL=VAXStation
 	SET GVSS ENABLE

 	Which causes the Segfault .  Either one seperately there is no SegFault 
and most every but 'boot cpu' works .  But that is another story .  Which I have 
not had time to diagnose as of now .  Will try strace of running process and see 
what happens .
