Another couple of possiblities:

1. Not enough swap space (the OOM killer?!).
2. Swap space is buggy. Run the commands
	swapoff <name of swap device>
	mkswap -c <name of swap device>
	swapon <name of swap device>
3. Too many elements in the /etc/apt/sources.list
   (this was an error with old apt's but should be
    OK nowadays). Fix can be found on google.

Kapil.

P.S. Yes. I know couple < 3. But I am a mathematician so try
arguing that one with me!
