Ok, confirmed with that scenario, and it happens with the netboot image
too, so should be not so hard to debug. I can't reproduce it with a
self-made image made today, however. The interesting bit with the 14th
nov image is probably
kernel: [322.169251] debconf[268]: segfault at d ip b766c3be sp bf997a30 error 4 in libc.so.6 (deleted)[b762e000+c2000]
which seems to be inside
0003dc70 W malloc_usable_size
0003ecb0 T __libc_mallopt
which could be due to some buffer overrun?
