It is definitely meaningful to distinguish between hanging and crashing. It is 
always meaningful, because in a hang (construed in the broadest sense of the 
term), a program continues running indefinitely without doing anything, whereas 
in a crash, it terminates abnormally. There are not very many problems that 
will cause both hangs and crashes in the same program in response to the same 
user action. The adverb "eternally" makes it clear that the term "hang" in this 
bug report was *not* being used to refer to a crash.

I'm un-marking this as a duplicate. Are you still experiencing this bug? If 
not, then since you are the only person who has experienced it and it has not 
been confirmed, you should mark it as Invalid. If so, please provide details 
about anything that has changed and whether or not you are able to produce it 
on a more recent release of Ubuntu.

** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 507062
   synaptic assert failure: synaptic: ../../src/xcb_io.c:385: _XAllocID: 
Assertion `ret != inval_id' failed.
