Finding it will be tough.... Unlikely. If the actual program data was corrupted, it would SIGSEGV regardless of how it's executed. I'd guess that the program has a bug, and depending on the arguments and environment (especially the latter will be different), it shows up or not. Things like not having a LOCALE set in either case or similar.
