Try just pressing ENTER without typing anything for the password.

You could try compiling everything with debugging and then run that
command under gdb.

e.g.

$ CFLAGS="-g" ./configure ...
$ make

$ gdb mdb-export
[...]
(gdb) run -H budgettables.mdb BCODE

Then when it crashes, type:
(gdb) backtrace

If you post that to the list someone should be able to tell what the
problem is.
