crashes when dpkg configures writer2latex package

[Michael Voigt]

When I install the package writer2latex, as soon as dpkg starts configuring the package, the kernel completly crashes. I could reproduce the bug under serveral circumstances, with synaptic or with aptitude (even with no X server running at all). Unfortunately, I cannot post the backtrace the kernel then outputs here, as the computer completly crashes. It says something about a recursive problem --- I guess some sort of deadlock or recursive dependency in the file system, because the backtrace contains some fputs and fgets.

When I run the default kernel (2.6.28-11-generic), everything works fine.

I am using Kubuntu Jaunty.
