[3.18] fixdep crashed with signal 7 in parse_dep_file()

[dino99]

Trying to install the latest 3.18 kernels from canonical-kernel-team ppa with nvidia-340 driver; but always fails:

ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-3.18.0-2-generic is not supported
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.18.0-2-generic (i686)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-340-uvm/340.46/build/make.log for more information.
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.18.0-2-generic (i686)

The 2 headers & 2 images are indeed installed as usual; i've also added the linux-source for testing, but that does not help.

Note 1 : this instaallation is booting with systemd-boot (215-5ubuntu2)
Note 2 : im joining the crash file as apport silently fail to upload it.
Note 3 : no such problem with 3.16 kernels
