Use JOSM, merkaartor might not be dead upstream just yet, but it's at least terminally ill. You can still use it to open already downloaded OSM data, adjusting severity accordingly.
I have also been able to reproduce this in stable. The seg fault appears to be in OSMServer.cpp - Download failed: Invalid argument; So I'm suspecting the program is too old to use the current OSM API. (The release is 2 yrs old and no recent commits upstream.)
Sounds like: #1118401 The commit mentioned in that issue still hasn't found its way into a new upstream release. Perhaps we should just remove merkaartor from the archive, nobody cares enough about the package to cherry-pick the upstream commit to fix this issue.
