This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #204075. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

That is why I reported it as not a duplicate of bug #204075, the version of the package where I received the bug was later then the one where the bug was fixed.

The code deals with BadStatusLine as a error condition in natty.
