'Running dot -Tpng test.dot -o test.png results in a segfault

I am a bit desperate about what I'm doing wrong. I have installed graphviz 3.0.0 on Mac OS Catalina via homebrew.

test.dot:

graph g {
        a -- b ;
}

running dot -Tpng test.dot -o test.png results in a segfault. What's wrong about my invokation to dot?

The output of dot -vtest.dot is:

The output of dot -v test.dot looks the same, at first glance.
