Try compiling the code on the PC and testing that it can run there 
without a segmentation fault.

Generally bugs with non-hardware specific code will show up on linux on 
the PC.  Therefore, you can test your code using valgrind; which I 
thoroughly recommend.

Incidentally, shouldn't you be using ttyAM0 / ttyAM1?

And you definitely must remove ttyAM1/0 references from inittab; as 
you'll end up with a console on something you're expecting to do i/o 
with hardware over.
