[Aptitude-devel] Bug#708812: [aptitude] aptitude segfaults upon being called.

[Xiyue Deng]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.8.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #708812

Same symptom as original reporter. Also got similar strace log. I'll add
a gdb backtrace (with aptitude-dbg installed), but there's almost no
useful information either.

-- Package-specific info:
Terminal: screen
$DISPLAY is set.
