I just tried the game on my system (also amd64) and it runs really ok.
I have the same versions for the dependencies, so I suspect something
related to the video card.

What kind of video card do you have? Which driver do you use?
Do other accelerated games (e.g.: warzone2100, boson, billardgl) work properly?

You don't have manually/locally compiled packages, right? (i.e. you
use only official packages)

Could you send also the entire strace of the segfault?

Could you send also a proper[1] backtrace of the crash?
