I get similar output on a 64-bit Debian system:
tyger:~ geofft$ /afs/athena.mit.edu/software/math_v8.0.4/samplescript.m
error: Cannot stat link ../../../distrib/SystemFiles/Kernel/Binaries/@sys/MathematicaScript
Segmentation fault
It seems to work fine if I cd into the directory containing
MathematicaScript first, viz.:
tyger:/afs/athena.mit.edu/software/math_v8.0.4/arch/i386_deb50/bin geofft$
/afs/athena.mit.edu/software/math_v8.0.4/samplescript.m
