So it seems that some rather basic parts of Apple's Unix tools do not work on all CPUs. Since you have a rather early G4, one could suspect something similar; but without spending time on recompiling /bin/sh with debugging turned on and hunting through the sources, there is not much you can do to find out.

You had the same crash twice, so I doubt if this can be a hardware problem (RAM or disk), but you could try replacing your /bin/sh binary by some other version, even by /bin/zsh and look if this changes anything.

Thanks, Martin. I had the same crash a third time yesterday and then decided for now to install gcc4 and shlibs from the .debs off another G4. After that, update-all finished without problems.
