Can't reproduce. We need a proper backtrace with debug info from the crash (build with 'inherit debug' should be helpful).

Also please paste your 'emerge info' output.

An "emerge -u portage" fixed the problem.

I was very surprised too, but it fixed it :)
My portage version is now 2.0.48-r7.
During the update the whole base-system was updated, don´t know why, but 16 packages were merged including glibc. Maybe the fix was withing those 16 packages ...
