Segmentation fault on node.js 0.10.30

I'm getting the following:

$ node
> var charsetDetector = require("node-icu-charset-detector");
undefined
> var charset = charsetDetector.detectCharset(new Buffer('6d79f668e4', 'hex'));
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

node-icu-charset-detector version is 0.2.0 and system is Ubuntu.

Still happens on Node.js 6

Another test case:

charsetDetector.detectCharset(Buffer.from("ceb6de4f330820d3ffb18f704b8a42783eb6aa82", "hex"));

After some experimentation, I found that this appears to be a bug in ICU4C, not a bug in this wrapper module. The segfault appears to have been fixed in ICU 53. Upgrading your ICU4C installation to ICU 53 or later should fix the issue.
