Illegal Instruction when reading PCD/PLY files readHeader()

edit

EDIT I've narrowed down the issue to reading of PCD/PLY files, so the question has basically changed...

I have been stuck on this issue for days, and finally I've given up and decided to ask for help:

I am trying to run a variation of my_pcl_tutorial, but instead of receiving a point cloud via subscription, I am still setting up a subscriber, but then reading the cloud from a pcb file and then publishing it (via a message forwarder node to avoid sub/pub of the same topic on a single node) on the same topic I am subscribing to. Here is my main():

int main (int argc, char** argv)
{
  // Initialize ROS
  ros::init (argc, argv, "my_pcl_tutorial");

  // Load from file
   pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ>::Ptr pcloud(new pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ>);
  //sensor_msgs::PointCloud2::Ptr pcloud(new sensor_msgs::PointCloud2);
  if ( pcl::io::loadPCDFile<pcl::PointXYZ> ("/home/user/Documents/table_scene_lms400.pcd", *pcloud) == -1) // load the file
  {
    std::cout << "Couldn't read file!\n";
    return (-1);
  }
  std::cout << "Loaded " << pcloud->points.size () << " points." << std::endl;

  //set up publishers and subscribers
  ros::NodeHandle nh;// = ros::NodeHandle(ros::this_node::getName());
  ros::Duration(5).sleep();
  ros::Publisher pubcloud = nh.advertise<sensor_msgs::PointCloud2> ("/inputforwarder", 1);
  ros::Subscriber sub = nh.subscribe ("/input", 1, cloud_cb);
  //puboutput = nh.advertise<sensor_msgs::PointCloud2> ("/output", 1);
  puboutput = nh.advertise<pcl::ModelCoefficients> ("/output", 1);
  ros::Duration(5).sleep();

  //publish cloud
  sensor_msgs::PointCloud2 pc2;
  pcl::toROSMsg(*pcloud, pc2);
  pubcloud.publish(pc2);

  // Spin
  ros::spin ();

  return (0);
}

Which gives me the error on my loadPCDFile():

which boils down to an issue in readHeader().

It is finding the file just fine, in case you were wondering. I've tried multiple PCD and PLY ... (more)
