No, I am not 100% sure yet. I am still trying to debug the issue.

That could explain the problem on sparc64 and x32, but it doesn't
segfault on my amd64 machine, yet the download fails. I can run xsltproc
with the URL in my sbuild chroot and it is able to download and parse
the file. However, when I sbuild samba, it still fails. I can't really
wrap my head around what happens here.

I will do more debugging and see whether I can pin-point the actual
problem.
