I had it too. Lots of segmentation faults. I managed to roll back to 2.7-5ubuntu2 (aren' t those live cd's handy?), held those packages back and all was well again.

I think someone messed up... Errors I saw had to do with mmap and malloc.

same problem here. I don't know how to roll back though. any suggestions?
