This problem ran into me while I was upgrading through gutsy revisions.
update-mime-database kept crashing - for instance, in the post/pre
install/rm scripts for sun-java5-jre, or even in shared-mime-info's
scripts. Here's a backtrace of what happens when "update-mime-database
/usr/share/mime" happens:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0804bc15 in write_match (key=0x8059ce8, data=0xffba48b4)
at update-mime-database.c:2228
2228 offset = mdata->offset + 32 * g_list_index (mdata->matches,
magic->matches->data);
(gdb) bt
#0 0x0804bc15 in write_match (key=0x8059ce8, data=0xffba48b4)

(gdb)
If I sit at the top frame and try to print any of the mentioned
variables (offset, mdata, magic), they're all apparently not in the
context. As a heads up, this is the i386 package running in a chroot, on
a x64 host.
