Hmm... That must be set by ssh based on your local environment. I just found a reference in the Debian Maintainer's Guide that says the default build locale is C. And it looks like the Ubuntu build is explicitly setting a locale of C.UTF-8. I've run into locale-related issues that affected one architecture but not others (though it was i386 vs amd64 in that case), and since we're dealing with an ICU update, and the runtime exception is dealing with a bad buffer (which could mean there was a buffer, but it was the incorrect size), I'm thinking this could be locale related. But admittedly, it's a shot in the dark. Would you be willing to add LC_ALL := C.UTF-8 export LC_ALL to the top of debian/rules and try another build? Or I could prepare another package with the changes if you'd rather not muck with editing files.
