A SIGSEGV probably warrants a bug report on that version of md5sum.

Just to clarify something. md5sum on Debian is not from the textutils
package at all. It is from the 'dpkg' package.
md5sum --version
md5sum: invalid option -- -
usage: md5sum [-bv] [-c [file]] | [file...]
Generates or checks MD5 Message Digests
-c check message digests (default is generate)
-v verbose, print file names when checking
-b read files in binary mode
The input for -c should be the list of message digests and file names
that is printed on stdout by this program when it generates digests.
dpkg -S /usr/bin/md5sum
dpkg: /usr/bin/md5sum
