Description Dave Hodgins 2013-01-17 22:40:42 CET 
Trying to install from an http repo, using the
18874368 Jan 17 16:12 boot.iso

If cancel is selected for the http proxy, stage 1 segfaults
while loading stage 2.  Works ok, if ok is selected for
the proxy, with both fields empty, instead of selecting
cancel.

Error message in log is
stage1[52]:segfault at 0 ip 04062cb sp 7fff8799c360 error 4 in stage1[400000+8b000]

Could you provide a detailed reproducible way?

I was able to reproduce it.

As you go through stage 1, choose an HTTP installation, you'll have to go through various dialogs putting in info like http mirror and path, network information, and one of them will ask for the HTTP proxy (if any) to use.  If you leave those fields blank and choose Cancel instead of OK, when you get to the end and it tries to load Stage 2 it segfaults.
