Ouch. I updated it from 3.6.0 because that had an annoying bug in scalc about
making plots. A bug not present in 3.5 or 3.6.1. So I thought I better go
ahead. In fact I had to roll back to 3.5, write the document I couldn't write,
and only later I tried to update to 3.6.1. And then I tested the bug of 3.6.0.

Of course I've no idea why it segfaults. Upstream hasn't published 3.6.1 in
their webpages for download links of prebuilt binaries, but I think it's because
they are late building. Who knows.

What should we do then? Of course, I prefer it to be 3.6.1 by now.
