$Scroll seems to be the problem, it will crash with Segmentation fault.
I noticed in 1.6.2_pre01267 scroll changed: 
1.6.1:		${scroll length text} 
1.6.2_pre01267:	${scroll length (step) text}

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce
1. conky -t '${scroll 20 some text}' 

Can anyone verify this result?
Comment 7 Tom Zegard 2008-11-19 00:47:36 UTC 
Confirmed!

Conky will start after removing all scroll lines from conky.conf

Latest prerelease, do it.
