Hello,

right this is in grub-probe which belongs to grub-common package and so
grub2 source package.

Could you please try to compile and install a freshly compiled upstream
version of grub-common package?
At [0] you find an explanation how to do it. It should be
self-explanatory but feel free to ask if you have a question or a
problem how to do it.
There's an important fix for LVM pending for the next upload which I
hope is the reason for your segfault.
