It would seem part of my problem is that my terminal has too many columns... A few months back I got a 30" monitor, when one maximizes the terminal and does "echo ${COLUMNS}" the result is "423" ... rows are around 113 or 114

At this width, when I do "aptitude install" with some large package, aptitude freezes as soon as the "[speed/sec]" is shown on the right side of the terminal.

When I reduce the size of the terminal down to a smaller width/height, I do not experience the same freeze ups... I suspect the freeze ups eventually crash out...
