Philip, Are you running Mapnik 0.6.1 and debian sid or ubuntu karmic?
If so you'll likely need to upgrade to Mapnik trunk, as we've recently fixed a bug that slipped into 0.6.1 that would cause segfaults when reading from shapefiles: http://trac.mapnik.org/ticket/436 Before you do this you could try commenting out the xml <Layer> definitions that reference shapefiles in the osm.xml and see if that fixed the problem.
