Maybe id3lib is causing this.  I had frequent segfaults when using
id3lib 3.7.13.  Apparently there's a bug in the library that makes it
freak out on certain kinds of tags.  I recompiled with id3lib 3.8.0
instead and it worked fine.
I don't know which version of id3lib the RPM relies on, but you may want
to check this.

Have a look at the "Info" item in the Help menu.  Or run "easytag -v"
at the prompt.

I'll leave the rest of the remarks to others :)
