[yes, unfortunately there are some bugs in i.point3, however, this
module is much more convenient than i.point]

segmentation fault - mhhh. Could you run this again using "strace i.points"?
Perhaps this hels a bit to find the problem. Of course a debugger would
be much better, see
documents/debugging.txt
in the source code for how to debug.

I am also using i.points regularly without problems.

Well, since you are working in an xy-location, how can your images
overlap?

Generally: It is much more recommended to use i.ortho.photo to
rectify aerial images. Only then the results will be really accurate.
