Here are the last few lines of an strace:

rt_sigaction(SIGTSTP, {0x1003e39c, [], SA_RESTART}, NULL, 8) = 0
open("/etc/mtab", O_RDONLY)             = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
futex(0xf6f0bc4, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = 0
--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0} ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

Even just an emtpy /etc/mtab prevents the seg fault.  On amd64, vifm simply exits if no /etc/mtab file is found.

Can you please test with newly-added version 0.7.4b? Thanks :)
