This does indeed work (I guess that is what I meant when I wrote
"understanding what the precise mechanism of the crash is would
require a deep understanding of CoreFoundation's innards" :-) ). I
tested it in dpkg and in tar (remember that these are two independent
bugs, both need fixing).
For the current dpkg-1.10.21 in Fink, the insertion of gettext("") can
be done as is in include/dpkg.h ( that's where textdomain(PACKAGE)
appears), or in dpkg-deb.main.c after the line
standard_startup(&ejbuf, argc, &argv, NULL, 0, cmdinfos);
The patch works also for tar, when it is applied in /src/tar.c.
