OK. I spent some time trying to derive a testcase, but gave up when I found
the versions above are OK with it.

I believe so yes. I encountered the problem with the latest 7.0
rpm (-69) and confirmed it fixed in rawhide. Upgrading to 7.1 is certainly
a solution, but bear in mind it costs money to do so (and I can't afford
a spare 5 pounds after a quite expensive weekend in hamburg ;))
the bug is hidden currently anyway, but we should make sure to be suspicious
of crashes with 2.96-compiled versions ...
