% cd /tmp
# make a nesting set of directories
% unset x; for f in `seq 0 9` ; do x=${x}DeepDirectory$f ; mkdir $x ; x=$x/
; done
% cd $x
# make an 80 meg file of zeros
% dd if=/dev/zero of=bar.dat ibs=1 count=81669539
# running 'tweak bar.dat' in this dir works fine.
# but not from the '/tmp' dir
% cd - # back to /tmp
% tweak ${x}bar.dat ; echo $?
Segmentation fault

Attached is the output of:
% strace -o tweak.log tweak ${x}bar.dat
Notes:
1) Remove the string 'DeepDirectory' from the above nested dir maker
and 'tweak' doesn't crash.
2) 'tweak' doesn't crash with small files either; I
haven't tested how big the file needs to be to crash it.
3) Lowering 'bar.dat' through the nest, one directory at a time,
it crashes 'tweak' even down to 'DeepDirectory2',
but not in 'DeepDirectory1'.
Hope this helps...
