Hmm, this must be a different issue.

Thanks.  If you could possibly try to run in gdb, that would be
even better.  You'll need to install gdb, schroot-dbg and also
libc6-dbg and libstdc++6-4.4-dbg.  You can then (as root) run
'gdb /usr/bin/schroot' and in gdb run 'run <schroot-options>',
wait until the segfault and then type 'backtrace'.  The
backtrace is what I need, and this should pinpoint the exact
point of the failure.


Many thanks,
Roger
