I have the same issue, except that it occurs using a language set I trained 
myself.
Attached files are the 5 files of the set excluding the dictionary files (the
training was for a particular font, so I copied over the dictionary files from 
the
english set).

System is Gentoo Linux on an amd64, using version 2.00 built from the ebuild.
Note that the program work with the supplied english and french language sets.

Try patch1, patch2, patch3 from
http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/ocr/tesseract.html
and try again.
The binary format used in inttemp is nonportable, and the way this file is read 
and
written fails on amd64 and x86_64. Throw away the binary files, recompile and 
train
again.

This issue was fixed in 2.03 or before.
