On my Debian amd64 machine, I don't get a segfault when testing by
setting either LANG or LANGUAGE (I'm testing with fr_FR.UTF-8 as I
don't have your translation).  It might be helpful to try it with some
of the debugging turned on to see where it crashes, as a segfault is
always a bug (e.g. "LANG=ml_IN.UTF-8 tuxmath --debug-all")

That's not a crash - the game simply exits from the menus when the
user presses 'Esc', although as noted previously, it would make more
sense to have the program go back to the top-level menu.  Also, the
message about T4K_BlackOutline() doesn't mean the program is crashing.
 That message really should only show up in debugging output as it
just makes people worried

Look for where the string is displayed to the user, and see if it
appears in English or Malayalam.
