 Fixed in r62177.  I've asked Otavio on IRC if it's OK to upload this,
 since I don't want to inadvertently stomp on d-i release preparation.

Thanks a lot Colin. Works fine again now.

AFAIK Otavio is planning another D-I upload (a few other components 
migrated only a few days ago), so it would be nice to get this in 
especially as without it s390 is unusable.
So I've gone ahead and uploaded with 'high' priority.

Cheers,
FJP

 And can also confirm for amd64 in Virtualbox, also during mirror

And it does not go away if I recompile cdebconf (tried for amd64).

This is similar to what happened in powerpc to me. I have no glue why :-(

I've traced this to Colin's commit that adds the passthrough frontend 
(r59807). If I revert that the text frontend works fine again.

It may possibly have something to do with the progress bar STEP increasing 
to a value higher than the specified maximum, but that's a guess.

Someone more at home in C than I will have to look deeper than that.

Colin, do you have time?

Cheers,

Really? See above.

Also, the crash happens in a totally different place than it did on ppc.
