This happens during automated installations but also during a manual installation. All the tests have been run on VMs. I haven't found any pattern to reproduce this crash and it affects i386 and amd64.
The host systems runs Oneiric amd64 with kernel 3.0.0-12
Running the exact same test again pass most of the time.
