Why on Earth is this happening, and how can I fix it?

I installed openSUSE 11.3 to investigate this. I installed libsword
1.6.1 and bibletime 2.7.2 from the openSUSE build system. I reproduced
the problem as described above.

$ bibletime
UTF8Transliterator: ICU: no resource index to load
UTF8Transliterator: ICU: status U_MISSING_RESOURCE_ERROR
UTF8Transliterator: ICU: no resource index to load
UTF8Transliterator: ICU: status U_MISSING_RESOURCE_ERROR
UTF8Transliterator: ICU: no resource index to load
UTF8Transliterator: ICU: status U_MISSING_RESOURCE_ERROR
Segmentation fault

I also compiled BibleTime 2.72 and BibleTime git HEAD and both crashed
the same way.

I compiled libsword from svn and bibletime from git HEAD and all works
fine. No crash.

I notice that when building libsword, ICU was not used, but in the
errors above it was built with the openSUSE build system version. I did
not think we needed ICU, but I am not sure. I don't know if it is
related to the crash.

Any other thoughts?
