Sorry but I can't duplicate this so I assume it is content dependent.
Possibly strace will show if there is a specific file which is causing a
problem.

This is not a request to post strace output here.  Look for a line in strace which
begins with a dash and scan up, looking for any odd filenames.  If anything jumps
out then please send it here.

You could also try installing grep-debuginfo and see if gdb shows anything.
