Bug#679073: texlive-base: failed during dist-upgrade (/usr/bin/fmtutil: Segmentation fault)

[Lukasz Pakula <pepesz@gmail.com>]

The execution of strace pdftex -ini -jobname=etex -progname=etex 
-translate-file=cp227.tcx '*etex.ini'
results in 50% cases in segmentation fault. I start thinking it might be 
memory problem. Is there a reliable test I can run?

Here is the bt:

Core was generated by `pdftex -ini -jobname=etex -progname=etex 
-translate-file=cp227.tcx *etex.ini'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
