Since all Lire code is Perl, this is not caused by Lire itself.  It is
likely some of the commands invoked by Lire which causes trouble.  It
could be e.g. DB::SQLite2, or expat or XML::Parser.

You could try running Lire in debug mode (reconfiger Lire using the
lire(1) interface) and pin down which subcommand causes the crash.

BTW: 

 lr_run lr_log2report sendmail /var/log/syslog syslog_test

is not supposed to yield anything useful.  For processing syslog logs,
one would have to call

 lr_run lr_log2report syslog /var/log/syslog syslog_test

.
