It turned out that theo other bug, 34344, was a segfault in the program
that was called on the respective line in the script. So I guess we can
assume that in this case it isn't bash, either.

I assume that the problem persists on your system, i.e. if you try to
configure tetex-bin it happens again? If that is true, can you please
try "fmtutil-sys --all" - does this also give the segfault? If that
happens, please run

sh -x /usr/bin/fmtutil-sys --all 2>&1 | tee fmtutil.debug

and send us the resulting file fmtutil.debug.
