A silly question: can you generate the order in which it queries things without actually doing the test and see what is being tested when the crash occurs, and then look to see if it's some strange filesystem object (a socket, dangling symlink, etc). The fact it's happening at the same place always suggests it's data dependent. If nothing else, you could move the crashing object temporarily out of the search path and see if that stops the crash.
