The segfaults related to the deprecated spatilite_init() method is known
issue, see my post about SpatiaLite 4.2.1 and the links contained therein:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/2015/05/msg00035.html

I've currently updating the spatialite related package for the upcoming
SpatiaLite 4.3.0 release. I'll request the spatialite transition from
the Release Team soon after the final release.

Kind Regards,

Bas
