If this is repeatable, and initial backups work fine, and it always
works fine with --no-compression, then it seems very likely the
problem is with python's use of the zlib library on your system.

rdiff-backup doesn't have much C code in it, and python code should
never segfault no matter how buggy it is.  So in general rdiff-backup
segfaults are problems with the python implementation.
