I can confirm this.  I get the following backtrace:

We're failing to rename because we got an EFAULT, and then we try to
print the failing filename, and we get a segfault right here:

			if (rename(src, dst) < 0 && !ignore_errors)
				die_errno (_("renaming '%s' failed"), src);

I don't know yet if dst is also bad, but clearly src is.  I'm looking
into it.
