still segfaults. i would suggest asking a shell access from an Arch64
dev, i neither have such a machine phisically. anyway here is the
commandline to reproduce the issue:

vmiklos at helicon:~/darcs/pacman/src/pacman$ sudo rm -f
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/vim* /tmp/pacman.lck; sudo ./pacman -Sw vim
--noconfirm
