Hmm, for me it worked fine, here is the Eagle CAM script I used:

http://linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/dvb-hw/dvbusb-fx2/schematic/gerb274x-4.cam?rev=1.2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

I also slightly modified the eagle2exc.pl script by Alex to work around 
two bugs in Eagle and gerbv at this time and to explicitly set the used 
unit:
(the eagle buglet was reported to Cadsoft, hope it's fixed now - the 
gerbv bug has been fixed directly by Stefan)


http://linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/dvb-hw/dvbusb-fx2/schematic/eagle2exc.pl?rev=1.3&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

This tiny script renames the files according to the requirements by 
http://www.pcbexpress.com/ and calls Alex' perl script mentioned above:

http://linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/dvb-hw/dvbusb-fx2/schematic/make_gerber_pcbexpress.sh?rev=1.2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

Can you please send the files which crashed gerbv directly to me and 
Stefan (the gerbv author)?

thanks+hope that helps,

Holger
