tesseract Segmentation fault

1) Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04
2) tesseract-ocr:
  Installed: 2.04-2
  Candidate: 2.04-2

3,4) I ran tesseract on a tiff file and received the following in the console:
Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine
Segmentation fault

and no output file was produced.

Running gdb revealed the following:
"

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Could this be related to the comment
/* increment/decrement of buf and cc is still incorrect, but should not matter
 * TODO: resolve this */

on line 1086 of tif_jpeg.c?

Obsolete. Tesseract 3.x now uses Leptonica for image i/o. Please close.
