I can confirm segfaults after updating the kernel to 3.13.0-59 on
various 64 Bit machines. Its related to shelling out commands from 32
bit executables. In my case its a proprietary program, but its
reproducible with the following steps:

    $ apt-get install gcc-multilib
    $ cat test.c 
    #include "stdlib.h"
    int main()
    {
        system("/bin/echo Hello World");
    }
    $ gcc -m64 test.c
    Hello World
    $ gcc -m32 test.c
    $ ./a.out # Program is crashing here
    $ dmesg|tail -n 1
    [  102.260840] sh[2283]: segfault at 3dbb92d0 ip 000000003dbb92d0 sp 
00000000b366e850 error 14 in ld-2.19.so[7f573dbb8000+23000]
