I thought about broken hardware too... I will try some memtesting today.

Anyway, this is my output:

+ CACHE=/home/knarf/.dmenu_cache
+ UPTODATE=1
+ IFS=:
+ test ! -f /home/knarf/.dmenu_cache
+ test 1
+ test /home/knarf/bin -nt /home/knarf/.dmenu_cache
+ test /usr/local/sbin -nt /home/knarf/.dmenu_cache
+ test /usr/local/bin -nt /home/knarf/.dmenu_cache
+ unset UPTODATE
+ test /usr/sbin -nt /home/knarf/.dmenu_cache
+ test /usr/bin -nt /home/knarf/.dmenu_cache
+ unset UPTODATE
+ test /sbin -nt /home/knarf/.dmenu_cache
+ test /bin -nt /home/knarf/.dmenu_cache
+ unset UPTODATE
+ test /usr/games -nt /home/knarf/.dmenu_cache
+ test !
Segmentation fault

The segfault always happens at this place. Any ideas?
