Should not SEGV even if there is nothing to paste!

Those utilities do not have access to the X Window select buffer, only 
the X window copy buffer is copied to the Windows clipboard 
/dev/clipboard, so you may have to *COPY* the selected text to the 
clipboard, however that is done from xterm, perhaps C-S-v or using 
command xclip -sel c, before you can paste it.
