This is not a GNUstep bug.

I was already asked about this in a private email by Mark - and answered it. 
Here's a copy:

"Hi Mark

thanks for your report.  I did install your VM and looked at it.

The problem you're having is due to the fact that you have a new libc installed into /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries
(the library is called libc.so.6).

When /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries gets added to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, all the command-line tools start
using your new C library - which must be incompatible with the one they were linked to, so they crash.

The GNUstep.sh script crashes at the very first external command that is executed after /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries
is added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The problem went away when I deleted /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libc.so.6.

So the question is ... how/why do you install your own version of libc ?  The one supplied with CentOS should be good enough :-)

Thanks"

This is happening when sourcing GNUstep.sh on CentOS 4.7 or the RedHat equivalent of it:

/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh: line 374:  3674 Done                    echo ":${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:"
      3675 Segmentation fault      | grep -v ":${path_fragment}:" > /dev/null
/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh: line 374:  3677 Done                    echo ":${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:"
      3678 Segmentation fault      | grep -v ":${path_fragment}:" > /dev/null
