Did you rebuild "fink", the package manager, or "Fink" the whole distro?
The former wouldn't actually do anything. The latter is more likely to
work, though a bit excessive.
Let's check a few more things.
What do you get from "apt-cache policy aspell"?
Does it lock up with every file?
Does it lock up when you use a Terminal.app window?

1. I deleted /sw then downloaded a new source tarball.
2. Here's the output:
aspell:
Installed: 0.60.5-1003
Candidate: 0.60.5-1003
Version Table:
*** 0.60.5-1003 0
500 file: stable/main Packages
100 /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status
0.50.5-1002 0
500 http://bindist.finkmirrors.net 10.5/release/main Packages
3. I tried a few different files and I get the same problem.
4. Terminal.app has the same behavior.
