Hi,
run a memory test on the box in cases like this.
Too many good IT people have gone crazy searching for config errors when
the real problem was memory.

Your problem may be unrelated but apt-get update was segfaulting for us
on Sarge and we did:
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*bin
..to fix it

I have a problem with an installation I am doing right now.
I have got most of what I need installed but in the process I have
managed to do something that seems to have broken apt-get.
Every time it is run it seg faults.
update seems to go and get the files it thinks it needs but seems to
craps out while processing them.
After doing a strace it seems to be opening a file called:
/var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.aarnet.edu.au_pub_ubuntu_archive_dists_hardy_universe_binary-i386_Packages
And the strace always ends with:
read(6, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\nOrigi"..., 32643) = 32643
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Process 6266 detached
Any ideas?
Regards,
Zane
