JackYF wrote a patch that completely replaces the Dynamic MMap
code (it's discussed in #474947).

That is likely to make this segfault unreproducible.  It's not a
fix to this bug; but it seems this bug only triggers after the Dynamic
MMap bug has already broken apt.
(I'm guessing that the Dynamic MMap bug is creating a structure
with null pointers, and other code isn't ready for that.)
