Upon selecting "packages" from the post install configuration,
sysinstall crashes on signal 11.  Info from gdb follows:

>How-To-Repeat:
Sysinstall reliably crashes by selecting option 8 from the config
menu, selecting FTP install, and then selecting a media type.  It will
also crash if the media type is preselected.
