I can't allocate more.. 2G is about the limit for my host, but I did 
allocate 2048 MB of ram, did a "fresh boot", accessed directly root and 
started aptitude and issued "g". Probably the shortest path that should 
ensure a clean system and kernel. It still hangs.
I would now really exclude it is a memory issue.

As Miguel pointed out, he has a similar issue with qemu and actually I 
am able to reproduce the problem with a much more simple path: launch 
aptitude, hit quit select yes and it hangs there.
