please download the latest version of objcopy and the crash input file.
COMMAND LINE: ./objcopy crash\ input a.elf
Then you will see the segmentation fault.

The stack trace is as follows from gdb:

#0  aout_32_swap_std_reloc_out (abfd=abfd@entry=0x7482f0, g=0x74a730, natptr=natptr@entry=0x748658)

So the crash happens in aoutx.h, a header file in Binary File Descriptor library.
