Package: aptitude
Version: 0.3.4-1
Severity: important

Sequence of events:
1) run "aptitude dist-upgrade"
2) get informed that because of conflicts, it can't upgrade
mozilla-thunderbird, press 'e' at "Accept this solution" prompt
3) Enter mozilla-thunderbird package, select later version of
libpng12-0 (1.2.8rel-4), now lets me upgrade thunderbird to 1.0.7-1
4) Press 'g' at "resolve dependancies" screen, and accept the solution
that's been created
5) segfault!

I rebuilt aptitude on my local machine to get a version with debug
symbols, and was able to reproduce the same fault. Unfortunately, the
terminal appears to have been messed up by the crash, and I can't just
attach the text version of the stack. Instead, here's a screenshot of
it...
