I think I solved the problem: The segfaulting happened because I had old and incompatible eng.traineddata (probably forgot to do "make install-langs", mentioned in "INSTALL.SVN"). I was clued in when I tried the old "-l deu", and, unlike in english, the recognition worked.
However, I must say there's something screwy with TESSDATA_PREFIX -- I had trouble switching from "/usr/share" to "/usr/local/share" -- setting the environment variable doesn't seem to work if the main executable is not in "/usr/local" (no big deal -- just that, what seems to be fully modular and user-defined is not, in this case) (Plus it fails to add a slash when appending to TESSDATA_PREFIX -- yielding "/usr/local/sharetessdata") -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
