You probably want to check for nr > 1 here, as in:

 	/* reverse call chain data */
-	if (reverse_call && symbol_conf.use_callchain && sample->callchain) {
+	if (reverse_call && symbol_conf.use_callchain && sample->callchain
+	    && (sample->callchain->nr > 1)) {
 		struct ip_callchain *chain;
 		int i, j;
 		u64 tmp_ip;

Otherwise, if you get a callchain with ->nr == 0, the loop with (nr - 2) will
go on for a long time.
