I just ran into this issue on my x86_32 box (Gateway M460) when I
upgraded to libc6-2.6.1-1ubuntu10 in Gutsy.

I just built the box from scratch yesterday using the Alternate install
CD, loaded some additional programs (Java, Azureus, ATI restricted
driver, etc...) and did

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade

Part way through the upgrade process (199 files left to upgrade) it
tried to update e2fslibs to 1.40.2-1ubuntu1.1

Once it finished the "Setting up e2fslibs (1.40.2-1ubuntu1.1) ..."
operation and started "Processing triggers for libc6 ..." i received the
following lines:

   ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
   Segmentation fault (core dumped)
   dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139

after 5 or 6 retries and attempts to use "dpkg --configure -a" and dpkg
--configure libc6", the only way I could get past the problem was to
reboot into a recovery mode (gdm disabled) and reinstall.

This corrected the first issue.

I then rebooted the machine and completed the "apt-get upgrade" process,
then for good measure re-ran both the "apt-get update" and "apt-get
upgrade" processes again.

After one final reboot, gnome-terminal fails with the "Bus error (core
dumped)"

Using "sudo aptitude reinstall libc6" corrected this issue for now.
