It happens to me on rare occasions as well.  But it is very hard to
reproduce, and so I couldn't until now debug it.

If you can consistently reproduce the crash, rebuild SYMIFY with -g
and try to find out where and why does it crash.  All the evidence I
have suggests that it crashes when it reads and sorts the symbols from
the program's file.  But I don't understand why does it crash.

(At least for me, the crashes disappear when you run SYMIFY under
GDB.  You *have* been warned ;-)
