Hmm, this reminds me of that horrifying win95 telnet/emacs bug that I never could find. - this being on m68k also greatly limits my chances of finding it :< I strongly suspect it is fixed in 0.3.0 but till then I really don't know.. Can you run apt-get update under strace and send me (and only me :>) the strace output for the last 100 lines or so? Thanks, Jason
