[Raphaël Hertzog (hertzog)]

The crash is within tsearch() which is itself called within dcgettext(). This is not a dpkg bug. Reassigning to eglibc.

FWIW, I could not reproduce it with the same locale and on debian sid. Can you reproduce the problem reliably on natty?

This is no more a supported version now
