same bug on Dapper for me today with all updates :
furax at bratux:~$ echo $LANG
fr_FR.UTF-8
furax at bratux:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=16k count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
Erreur de segmentation
furax at bratux:~$ export LANG=en
furax at bratux:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile2 bs=16k count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
16384000 bytes (16 MB) copied, 0.100916 seconds, 162 MB/s
