While installing sci-biology/transfac-3.2 I get a crash:

 * Package:    sci-biology/transfac-3.2
 * Repository: gentoo
 * Maintainer: [e-mail]
 * USE:        amd64 elibc_glibc emboss kernel_linux multilib userland_GNU
 * FEATURES:   nostrip sandbox splitdebug

 * Indexing TRANSFAC for usage with EMBOSS.
/var/tmp/portage/sci-biology/transfac-3.2/temp/environment: line 139:  5777 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) EMBOSS_DATA=. tfextract -auto -infile class.dat
 * ERROR: sci-biology/transfac-3.2 failed (compile phase):
 *   Indexing TRANSFAC failed.
 * 
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line  85:  Called src_compile
 *   environment, line 143:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *           EMBOSS_DATA=. tfextract -auto -infile class.dat || die "Indexing TRANSFAC failed.";




This leads me to recompile emboss with more debug and resolving the stacktrace:
