Are you using the --with-gdal option in the configure script? This might
be better as it links directly to the GDAL library and doesn't use the
'gdalbridge' code in GRASS. I have a nagging suspicion that it may be out
of sync with the current GDAL API and causing the segmentation faults
(although I could be totally wrong). If this is true however, using an
older version of GDAL may also be something to try if you don't want to
recompile GRASS.
