I can confirm this too, using usplash 0.4-12 on AMD64, with a nvidia card. The drivers are the nv ones. My GDB output it slightly different:
(gdb) run Starting program: /sbin/usplash (no debugging symbols found) Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000402ec6 in ?? () (gdb) bt #0 0x0000000000402ec6 in ??
