Package: texlive-base-bin
Version: 2007-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The installation procedure starts mktexfmt which in turn starts etex and pdfetex instances. They are being started until memory is full and the system freezes. I have had over 800 instaces of etex. It also does'nt recover with time. The first time I have waited 14 hours. My work around so far has been to 'killall mktexfmt {,pdf}etex' twice during installation, so it's left uninstalled.
