Control: retitle -1 apparmor_parser crashes with "free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x00000000009915a0" on Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64

Hi team-mates,

this only happens with Squeeze's kernel, and AppArmor 2.9 is not
intended to be used in such a context (we didn't even try to backport
it for Wheezy, so, Squeeze....). So I'm not sure what to do with this
bug report:

 * we could try to express a dependency on Linux >= 3.2, but:
   - I've not found how to do that
   - a suitable linux-image-* package being installed doesn't imply
     that it's the running kernel, so we would need a postinst check

 * we could simply close this bug, on the grounds that a Jessie or
   newer userspace is generally not supported on a 2.6.32 kernel

Thoughts, opinions?

Cheers,
