My system is still in a state where I can easily reproduce the crash.
The tar file is here:
http://www.speakeasy.org/~nestler/aptitude-bug343839.tar.bz2

The scenario required to reproduce the crash is even simpler now.
I have a handful of packages on hold (mozilla-firefox and all of the
e2fsprogs binary packages) and I am trying to purge bittorrent and
libwine-arts.  Nothing is being upgraded, downgraded, or installed.  I
still get a segfault.

The backtrace is hard to paste here because gdb's terminal gets totally
messed up when running aptitude inside of it.  I assume you can
reproduce it.

It involves pkgSimulate::Policy::~Policy() which is mentioned in another
Bug (343488).  However, applying the patch from that bug did not solve
the problem.  Also, downgrading aptitude to version 0.4.0-5 did not solve
the problem either.
