This error is almost certainly my fault:

    Code history Version 7.5 Revision 169:
    December 30, 2008 at 2:40am
    Corrected an error introduced into the extflat code when adding
    the new subcircuit and rsubcircuit handling; this error regularly
    causes segfaults when running ext2spice.

I accidentally broke the "stable" code briefly, so that for about ten
days I had a broken version posted on the website.  If you grab the
latest version (7.5.172), it has been fixed.

I noticed some problems with the standalone ext2spice that I will need
to look into.  These probably have no bearing on your problem;  they
apparently occur when using a technology other than scmos.  However,
if you have other problems running the standalone version of ext2spice,
you can instead run "ext2spice" from the magic command line.
