I'm told that it usually occurs while doing the "dpkg -i" of the
build-deps, and possibly most recently while dpkg was installing
debconf-i18n.

I don't think it's anything specific to the build itself.  I am unable
to reproduce any such crash with a single-proc machine, but if you can,
that would provide another data point.

Another possible way to reproduce the crash would be to set up buildd
and have it rebuild the entire archive.
