That's unusual.  The only thing I ever see is it simply won't connect. 
seg fault sounds like a code problem.  I've never used (or heard of) 
dlpsh, but I just tried it with mine and it connects fine.

What version of dlpsh?  Maybe you have some incompatibilities between 
versions of dlpsh and the conduits?

Try this and see what you get:

pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -l
