hmm, two things would help.  first change the first line of
test_metaflac.sh to

#!/bin/sh -x

when you run the script you will see the exact invocation of flac
before the crash.  if you send be the FLAC file, that might help.
also, if you can run the same command in gdb and get a backtrace
that would be another clue.
