I'm guess no-one here has seen this (or why have you not reported it
yet!!!), but a couple of people on the Chakra forums are reporting a
segfault at the end of the transaction - after releasing the databases.
See http://chakra-project.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?id=10224
Just a guess, but what version of curl are they running? curl 7.29 has a
bug that would cause it to segfault when cleaning and no
operation/download was done.
As that seems to be the case here, it could be curl segfaulting when
libalpm calls curl's cleaning function.
It was patched in Arch, and now we're at 7.30, which could explain why
no one noticed it here.

Was the bug in 7.28.1?
No, 7.29 only. Guess it's not that then.
