Yes. For me, the GMT version shipped with Ubuntu 13.10 is totally
unusable. I randomly get either segmentation faults from the most simple
psbasemap call, or some grdimage calls never return and don't do
anything. I downgraded to the previous GMT version [*] and everything's
fine for me.

Cheers, Andreas.
