apt-get segfaults!!

[Eray 'exa' Ozkural]

Hi,

We're trying to debug FAI for sid distribution.
In the course of installation, install_packages
dies with a segfault. Here is the log for rcS
for your examination.

We haven't been able to find the cause of the bug
but we think it's an apt bug when it's given
many packages for an install run.

Thanks,
