Erm, is that 'gnus$' above there just a little clipo or did it really
print that out? Also, your strace shows apt seg faulting just after the
child exits, which is really not that reasonable..

Really, I don't get it, your strace output looks OK, there is only 1
possible code path that could give this and that path doesn't match the
strace output.

I think the way to attack this is to try to locate what is causing that
segfault you see and that will probably lead to the answer - can you run
apt under gdb and/or compile it with -g.

Thanks,
Jason
