Segmentation fault using both old (1.5) and new (2.0) versions of HMetis on a graph with power-law degree distribution

Hello,

While trying to partition a hypergraph (#vertices: 2500, #hyperedges: 100000), which has power-law degree distribution (its a zipfian distribution with beta=0.99), both the old and new versions return a segmentation fault. From the logs, it appears that the problem occurs while partitioning the graph in the last stage of coarsening (#vertices: 1, #hyperedges: 0). Is there a known solution to this problem?

The problem can be recreated using the following graph file. I was trying to partition it into 250 partitions with a balance factor of 5.
Graph file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8992169/trx.dat

The logs obtained after execution are here --
Log for version 1.5 : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8992169/version-1.5.log
Log for version 2.0 : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8992169/version-2.0.log

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Naresh.
