I tried this under a current amd64 live desktop system in a VM with 1 GB RAM, and "apport-bug linux" works just fine. ps reports 513 MB VSZ and 63 MB RSS which certainly is more than it could be, but far from unreasonable. gedit (which is a C GTK program) uses almost the same VSZ (496 MB) and 25 MB RSS.

So let's dissect when things go wrong at your end. Does it only happen with the linux hook, or does it affect other packages as well? I. e. does "apport-bug coreutils" have that problem? (that does not have any package hooks). If not, does "apport-bug udisks" have? (that does some extra stuff).

Thanks!
