Still, that SIGABRT is particularly nasty. I don't think it would cost too much for anyone remotely fluent in C++ to guard the use of pkg_docid in src/generic/apt/matching/match.cc to ensure it doesn't crash so badly. (Being able to install and actually use aptitude on low-CPU machines is quite nice, and last I checked, update-apt-xapian-index was killing both my disk and my CPU on an iBook, for several minutes of joy.)
