Is this in an xterm, in some other terminal emulator, in a console
session?  I'm guessing you'll see different behaviour if you try all
three of those, which will help narrow down the problem.

Not that a segfault (assuming that's what you mean by "crash") isn't a
bug -- any event that doesn't make the system hardware unreliable should
be handled without a segfault.
