I am running a fully-updated Feisty. The steps to reproduce this bug are outlined in the tutorial at http://www.powerdeveloper.org/article.php?article=smartcard. The tutorial requires a smart card reader and a smart card.

If you manually create the /var/run/openct/ before you start your tutorial, does that solve the problem?

I expect it will. On Ubuntu /var/run is a tempfs. The package creates /var/run/openct when installed, but likely assumes it will always be around. This is a common error.

Yes, creating /var/run/openct solves the segfault. Thank you.
