The crash actually occurs in Atlas (package libatlas3-base), not in
RefBLAS (package libblas3). Please check that the crash disappears if
you select RefBLAS using the alternative system:

# update-alternatives --config libblas.so.3

In order to investigate this bug, I would like you to do two other
things:

- dump the contents of your /proc/cpuinfo

- recompile locally an Atlas package (as documented in README.Debian of
  libatlas3-base), and check whether the resulting package still
  exhibits the bug (don't forget to make sure that the BLAS alternative
  points to Altas before making the test)

Thanks,
