I confirm this trivial dd command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1k count=1
crashes with a fresh Ubuntu 6.06 installation off the CD with updates.
(i386, 32-bit).
It crashes for LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 and LANG=en_US.UTF-8 but not LANG=C,
LANG=en_GB or LANG=en_US.
I found this to be a problem when various build processes (which use dd)
for my own programs started crashing...
