I can confirm segfaults after updating the kernel to 3.13.0-59 on various 64 Bit machines. Its related to shelling out commands from 32 bit executables. In my case its a proprietary program, but its reproducible with the following steps:

    $ apt-get install gcc-multilib
    $ cat test.c
    #include "stdlib.h"
    int main()
    {
        system("/bin/echo Hello World");
    }
    $ gcc -m64 test.c
    Hello World
    $ gcc -m32 test.c
    $ ./a.out # Program is crashing here
    $ dmesg|tail -n 1
