The direct trigger of the crash is a peculiar character in a bug report
for sound-juicer (bug #717391.)
Take a look in the report from Ben Finney (message 1.)
It could be a lack of input sanitizing in bugs.debian.org ?
Still, this together with localization shouldn't cause a crash in
ruby's localization module (if the weakness is there.)
The older report (725496) regarding this had another trigger:
for some reason the reporter's desktop environment saved a value of
"de_DE.utf8". He destroyed the setting in
"var/lib/AccountsServices/users" and did a reselect of his environment
(dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales) and re-login with the proper LANG
selected.
That cured the symptom in that case.
For me this crashes:

Ruby isn't sensitive to 'utf-8' or 'UTF-8' but 'utf8' or 'UTF8' was once
sensitive.
