It would be awesome to have Peercoin support, do you think it's doable?

Ok I have a version that builds and looks at the Peercoin blockchain and gives the following output:

info: starting command "simpleStats"
info: initializing hash tables
info: pass 1 -- walk all blocks and build headers ...
49.72% (0.10/0.20 Gigs) -- 73700 blocks -- 848.99 Megs/sec -- ETA 0 secs 99.44% (0.20/0.20 Gigs) -- 142786 blocks -- 909.66 Megs/sec -- ETA 0 secs info: pass 1 -- took 0 secs, 143893 blocks, 0.21 Gigs, 909.09 Megs/secs
info: pass 2 -- link all blocks ...
info: pass 3 -- wire longest chain ...
info: pass 4 -- full blockchain analysis ...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

So it is failing on the full blockchain analysis, might be header height? not to sure at this point but will have a look and see what I can find @znort987 would appreciate any help or input from yourself, my current version is at: https://github.com/FuzzyBearBTC/blockparser
I'll raise issues and set up the repo on peer4commit etc

I've added support for peercoin, including proper address calculations, support for
peercoins extra fields in blockchain data structure and "interesting addresses" support.
