Bug description:
  I have built a USB-Stick to install Ubuntu Server Precise Alpha 1 64
  Bit based on the precise-alpha-1-amd64 ISO image.

  Installation works but the netcfg component segfaults!

  The installer screen shows an error. The 4th console shows:

  INFO: Menu item 'netcfg' selected
  INFO: Starting netcfg v.1.68ubuntu7 (built 2011-08-0004)
  WARNING **: Configuring 'netcfg' failed with error code 139
  WARNING **: Menu item 'netcfg' failed.
  netcfg[14152]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f8cc8e82572 sp 00007fffd1413bb8 error 6 in libc-2.13.so[7f8cc8d58000+195000]

  The installation continues when choosing the next item on the menu.

  These are the options used for preseeding netcfg:
  d-i netcfg/enable boolean false
  d-i netcfg/dhcp_options     select  Do not configure the network at this time
  d-i netcfg/dhcp_failed      note    
  d-i netcfg/network-manager  boolean false
  # netcfg will choose an interface that has link if possible. This makes it
  #d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto
  #d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true
  #d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.1.1
  #d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.1.42
  #d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0
  #d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.1.1
  #d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true
  d-i netcfg/get_hostname string lb-new
  d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain
  d-i netcfg/wireless_wep string

  
  Any ideas?
