So I've now heard from two people, neither of whom can reproduce this. I
also tried to reproduce it on my other machine and three virtual
machines (hosted on the same machine that I'm having problems with).

If no one can reproduce this, then it's difficult to pinpoint the bug.
So it appears that it's up to me to track this down. The problem is that
I don't know how to troubleshoot something like this. I've tried running
in pdb, but the segfault takes pdb down with it. /var/crash is empty. So
how can I troubleshoot this further?

Also attached is a capture of the crash. Note, however, that the crash
happens in one place if I run apt_crash_test.py, another if I run
apt_crash_test.py | less, and a third if I run apt_crash_test.py >
outfile.
