I think I've fixed this (or rather, worked around it).  The crash seems to be
triggered by r20929 (which passes all of Nixpkgs to libiodbc), so I've changed
libiodbc.  However, the real cause seems to be the long-standing Heisenbug in
the Nix expression evaluator.

I've only encountered this problem on x86_64...
