Bug#397678: main-menu: segfaults on amd64 after "Set up users and passwords" step

[Attilio Fiandrotti <attilio.fiandrotti@gmail.com>]

Some times ago Jerome reported a similar crash on amd64 with the 
graphical installer, he even provided a strace log [1] of the crash.
Since this crash, suspected to be due to DFB libraries on AMD64, was 
impossible to reproduce on aregular debian AMD64 system, i wonder if 
it's related to some other d-i component.
Eugeny, any bell ringing looking at Jerome's strace log?

cheers

Attilio
