unfortunately i cannot really reproduce this.
how many symbols do you consider "a few" ?

but you could run a debugger to see where it crashes:
$ gdb pd
% run -lib iemlib2 splitfilenametest.pd
% bt

and post the output of "bt".

additionally it often helps to run pd with "-stderr" so any 
error-messages will not immediatly vanish with the tk-console when pd dies.
