a related bug. In aptitude, if you "purge" a large group of packages (i.e. do a purge on "not installed" packages, for instance to remove cruft). It just hangs forever (well exageration, but it was over 20 minutes at 99% cpu usage)

If you do it on smaller sets (i.e. admin/main) it hangs for an extended period of time as well, but does return.
