This is an old version. Only the one from
http://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/openindiana-ntfs-3g.html
is supported.

Also note the reported segfault is in the fuse kernel module,
(not in ntfs-3g proper) which I also try to support, and also
to be found on the same page.

The source code of both can be found at the same location.
