Steve, Alastair, Could you have a look at 272136Â?
This bug has a very long story. It started by "Debian installer crashes on Arabic menu for countrychooser". Now, after a lot of investigation, Eugeniy reduced it to "something crashes when trying to display Arabic with whiptail". If I understand properly what is mentioned by Evgueniy, this even happens without libfribidi installed. This is somewhat important as it currently makes the Arabic translation of D-I completely useless.... I re-attach the test script for you to test. I have been able to reproduce the crash. I want to have your advice before reassigning this to newt.
