[Bug 2036424] [NEW] Mantic s390x install fails: grep-status: *** stack smashing detected ***: terminated

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Dan Bungert (dbungert):

mantic-live-server-s390x ISOs (serial: 20230918) are failing to install,
as subiquity crashes with the error reported at the end of this message.
By jumping to a shell in the installer live system, I found of that the
culprit is grep-status failing to run:

root at ubuntu-server:/# grep-status
*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)

What we expect is:

$ grep-status
grep-status: unexpected end of filter.

>From the test history I can tell that ISOs with serials:

 * Up to 20230915 are working
 * From 20230916 up to (at least) 20230918 are failing.
