The error comes from perl (debconf). Actually all debconf-using packages
seem to be broken with libc-2.3.4; dpkg-reconfigure also dies with the
same error.
You may reassign this bug to perl, but if perl is not fixed before sarge
(unlikely, since AFAIK perl is frozen, and the bug does not affect
sarge), a more generic workaround might be needed for the sarge->etch
transition (yeah, I know it is in the distant future ;-)
Ok, more stracing shows that the abort() happens when perl exits, so the
bug would be harmless if malloc() & friends would just not call abort()
by default.
