I am actually writing to RAM so that shouldn't be the problem. And
yes, it also segfaults at lower sample rates (I tried multiple values
down to 1) and with a small number of samples (also tried just 1
sample).

It would seem that the very idea of reading from the device causes the segfault.

What version of UHD are you using? What kernel driver? Have you updated anything else on the E110 image besides Gnuradio? Did it work for you before updating Gnuradio?
