Segfault on command line generation

Hello,

My name is Umair Khan, and I'm a student at Portland State University in Oregon. I'm not sure if this mailing list is a place to seek user support, so apologies if this is not the correct way to ask questions.
I'm trying to use KStars to generate images of the night sky from the command line, as per the instructions listed here. However, when I attempt to do so, the program segfaults with no error messages, and I'm not quite sure if or how this issue can be fixed. I was hoping someone here could provide some insight or a solution.
The GUI, on the other hand, works completely fine (at least as far as I can tell). Below are the details for the hardware I'm running KStars on:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.4

Kernel: 4.15.0-108-generic

DE: GNOME 3.28.4

CPU: Intel Core i7-6600u

In addition, I have attached two text files to this email containing shell input/output. One is for the plain command (default.txt), and another is a debug run using valgrind (valgrind.txt). Valgrind does appear to show several errors, but I am not quite sure how to interpret them or go about fixing them. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your consideration!
Best,
Umair
