checkinstall seg-faults with test1

[mike]

Since I upgraded to FC2 test1 checkinstall is seg-faulting as follows

make -C installwatch-0.7.0beta3
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mike/checkinstall-1.6.0beta3/
installwatch-0.7.0beta3'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mike/checkinstall-1.6.0beta3/
installwatch-0.7.0beta3'
cp checkinstall makepak /usr/local/sbin
make: *** [install] Segmentation fault
 
****  Installation failed. Aborting package creation.
 
Cleaning up...OK
 
Bye.

anyone any ideas why?
