stock GDAL v1.5.4 on Ubuntu 9.10 segfaults on every image in the 18sth 
directory. As Marco mentioned it will be good to hear from William or 
Tom regarding which version of GDAL is being used if their load times 
are slow. I will have to try with a different version of GDAL.

It would also be good to hear if removing the 18sth vrt from the project 
make any difference.
