Sorry, you are hit by a bug in 0.3.2 (one reason why it was never 
globally announced). The 0.9.5 - 0.9.6a versions of fink contain a 
bug in the selfupdate code which cause the hang you describe.

One way to work around the problem would be to downgrade to an older 
fink version. Try running "fink install fink-0.9.4", and if that 
works, immediatly run a "fink selfupdate".

Another way to work around this is to download the fink package 
manager 0.9.7 from 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/fink-0.9.7.tar.gz , then 
install that over your current fink (use the inject script in it). 
Afterwards, you should be able to fun a "fink selfupdate" just fine.


HTH,

Max
