Message #14 received at 396439@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):

The cause of the segfault was that some .desktop file were corrupted; 
reinstalled the packages and now all is ok.
The program should not segfault in first place ;-) however it would be helful 
to print to screen the file it is working on (with tve -v flag, maybe) and 
that causes problems: to find out this, I had to recompile with debug support 
and then run in gdb...

Bye
