Well, I faced a similar problem, when logged in from an Alpha Workstation
running VMS 7.2. There's no difference between being logged in sitting at
the Alpha console or telnet'ing from a PC running Debian via this Alpha to
the very same PC.

"apt-get update" segfaults, however "apt-get -q update" works fine!
I could send you the complete strace's or a diff between the two versions.


Maybe that helps.
