Do you have the possibility to suspend the aptitude process, eg. with ^Z? Can you attach a strace with sudo strace -p `pidof aptitude` (then fg aptitude if needed)? Does that resolve the problem or reveal anything? The output of sudo ls -l /proc/`pidof aptitude`/fd would be useful (get that before running the strace -p).
