Thanks for testing :-)
Yes, it seems the error is only reproducible under Lenny (after reading
your message, I've tested within my two virtual machines, one with a 32-
bits lenny installation and the other with squeeze, also 32 bits). The
lenny one just crashes in the same manner that my main system but in
squeeze the error is not present.

I think the "exception" is happening only in Lenny, in both 32 and 64-
bits.
