Package: gcc
Version: 1:2.95.2-6

When compiling the file main/help.c in dpkg-1.6.9, something gets compiled
wrong and bad code results.  The symptoms are that dpkg inconsistently
reports seg faults when running various initialization or removal scripts.
The problems go away if main/help.c is compiled without -O2.

The current dpkg-1.6.9_sparc.deb is afflicted with this problem.

I believe that the problem is in the routine maintainer_script_installed,
since if I put some printf's just before the call to m_fork(), then the
problem goes away.

My hardware is a Sparc 5 (sun4m, I believe).
