I'm seeing the same error on my 64bit VM. I just did some quick debugging as a break from work and came up with this:

(gdb) break 126
Breakpoint 23 at 0x400cc9: file keygen_test.c, line 126.
(gdb) break 127
Breakpoint 24 at 0x400cd3: file keygen_test.c, line 127.
(gdb) run
The program being debugged has been started already.
Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y
Starting program: /home/bryan/Code/mhash/src/.libs/lt-keygen_test 

Breakpoint 23, main () at keygen_test.c:126
126             tmp = mutils_asciify(key, keysize);
(gdb) c
Continuing.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff78a3cbd in ?? () from /lib/libc.so.6

I may have some more time to look into it tonight.
