A segmentation fault is never your fault; it is a design flaw of the
program itself. It is an instance where the program is attempting to
access memory at a location which the kernel has not designated to the
process. You need to file a bug report with the code maintainers.
If this is something you have the source for, you can recompile with the
-g option; then, run the program. When it core dumps, you can run gdb
against the core file and the executable (alternatively, you can run the
program in gdb and backtrace when the seg fault occurs). Perform a
backtrace and send it along with your bug report. This would be the most
help for the developers. If it would be any help at all (seg faults can be
really nasty, as they may be caused by code that would work perfectly fine
if it weren't for some *other* part of the code which misbehaved sometime
in the past, and this code isn't pointed to by the backtrace).
If you can't do that, then at least keep the core file. But if you have
locally linked dynamic libraries, I don't think it would do much good to
the developer.
