This is a kind of bug that is quite hard to trace unless we can reproduce the error.
As far as I know, there has been a report that matplotlib does not work well with GPL Ghostscript 8.63. And I'm not sure if it is related. http://old.nabble.com/Segmentation-fault-with-EPS-output-on-matplotlib->%3D0.98.5.2-to25257581.html#a25334270 So, see if using "xpdf" as a distiller works.
