Bug description:
  Running a build of Precise, I'm encountering a failure during the very
  early stages of installation.  I get a pop-up saying "The installer
  encountered an unrecoverable erro and will now reboot."

  It seems to occur when the following is present in syslog:
  Mar  8 20:30:10 ubuntu kernel: [   41.113727] pool[9204]: segfault at 17 ip 00007f022e402bfe sp 00007f0216355a20 error 6 in libc-2.15.so[7f022e2d9000+1b1000]

  Note that this is a preseeded installation.

  I'm unable to use apport to collect info because it tell tells me
  "This is not an official Ubuntu package..." and exits.

  I have attached the syslog.
