After upgrading from texlive-2008 to 2009 on both my x86 and amd64 Gentoo systems, I discovered that all my forms/letters containing pstricks logos/graphics were missing the logo images, when compiled via "pdflatex --shell-escape letter.tex" using auto-pst-pdf:
\usepackage[pspdf={-dAutoRotatePages=/None}]{auto-pst-pdf}
Apparently pdfcrop was not able to crop the images.
Since my logos were already cropped when I created them in Inkscape, I worked around the issue by disabling cropping:
\usepackage[pspdf={-dAutoRotatePages=/None}, crop=off]{auto-pst-pdf}
or by using the pdfcrop option --ini:
\usepackage[pspdf={-dAutoRotatePages=/None}, pdfcrop={--debug --verbose --ini}]{auto-pst-pdf}
After looking through test.log I decided to run the runsystem() commands manually.
So I tried running the command
pdfcrop --verbose --debug "test-autopp.pdf" "test-pics.pdf"
which fails:

Next, I decided to manually run pdftex on tmp-pdfcrop-5737.tex
pdftex -shell-escape -file-line-error tmp-pdfcrop-5737.tex
which segfaults.
If I run pdftex on the tmp-pdfcrop-????.tex with strace, I get
the attached strace.log
In case the segfault has something to do with my font caches
/var/cache/fontconfig
~/.fontconfig
I cleaned out my font caches:
"rm ~/.fontconfig/*" and
"mv /var/cache/fontconfig/* /var/cache/fontconfig.bak/"
but still get same segfault.
