 If mutt, and reportbug, and querybts are crashing, this is certainly
 not a scrollkeeper bug, it looks like a system-wide problem such as a
 libc issue.  The only dynamic library I could find in common between
 the crasher you mention is:
        libdl.so.2
 (which is in libc6)

 Please followup with your arch and libc6 version, and please try
 downgrading libc6 and booting on a livecd (to confirm this is not a
 hardware issue, such as bad RAM).

   Cheers,
