I have a problem. While updating, dpkg segfaults while configuring

Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to
recover:
then it tries again and eventually the whole machine freezes and I
have to hard boot.
I've tried all the variations of install [aptitude, apt-get, dpkg]. I
followed the instructions and ran dpkg --configure -a. I even forced
the removal of locales using dpkg, then reinstalled by aptitude. It
keeps doing this and I have no idea what to do now. With the "illegal
instruction" I can only assume one of the variables isn't getting set.

locales (2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4)
I ran dpkg -force-all -P locales then aptitude install locales. That
cleared the blockage as I had to answer the config questions again.
Still don't know why it bombed out like that... :(
