Using Siege to test https

I am trying to use Siege to load test an https site and am getting SegFaults. I am using Siege 3.0.5 installed using the siege homebrew formula (which has openssl support turned on) on OS X Mavericks.

HTTP works fine:

$ siege http://www.google.com
** SIEGE 3.0.5
** Preparing 15 concurrent users for battle.
The server is now under siege...
HTTP/1.1 302   0.67 secs:     261 bytes ==> GET  /
HTTP/1.1 302   1.02 secs:     261 bytes ==> GET  /
HTTP/1.1 200   0.78 secs:   14409 bytes ==> GET  /?gws_rd=cr&ei=H3TMUrb8BojolAXvrYCwBA

But HTTPS segfaults (I have tested other sites than google and get the same error)

$ siege https://www.google.com
** SIEGE 3.0.5
** Preparing 15 concurrent users for battle.
The server is now under siege...
[1]    5789 segmentation fault  siege https://www.google.com

It looks like this is a bug. I am using siege behind a proxy. I have the proxy settings in my .siegerc file. When I remove the proxy settings then siege https://www.google.com works.
