Description

I was able to successfully install the command-line client on my Mac (PowerBook, 10.9.4). The "keybase" command works for the "version" argument, but attempting to log in causes a segmentation violation:

warn: No config file found; tried '/Users/quark/.keybase/config.json'
keybase (keybase.io CLI) v0.5.1
- node.js v0.10.31
- gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.11
- Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Identifies as: 'keybase.io node.js client v0.5.1 darwin'
quark@Hitchens:~$ keybase login

Research direction

Start by reproducing `keybase login` on MacOS 10.9.4 with keybase client v0.5.1, Node.js v0.10.31, and GnuPG 1.4.11, comparing it with the working `version` command. Investigate the segmentation violation after passphrase entry; done means login completes without crashing in the reported environment.
