That would be nice. Translation-en and Translation.ed would be interesting.

Does it also segfault if you call:
 /usr/lib/apt/methods/rred
ftp.it.debian.org_debian_dists_wheezy_main_i18n_Translation-en
?
(will take Translation-en.ed and should result in Translation-en.result)


The patching worked fine (on my amd64/armel) machines earlier this week,
so might be arch-specific or "just" some free-running pointer …
