hey Santiago,
 I set up a test box with a bpo kernel (2.6.32-8~bpo50+1) and was able
to reproduce this failure. However, this problem is not reproducible
if I run the latest testing kernel (2.6.32-9). One possibly-related
entry in the changelog for 2.6.32-9 is this:

  * fs/exec.c: fix initial stack reservation (regression in 2.6.32.9)

My suggestion is to update the kernel on the buildds.
