apt-get dies with segmentation fault at 98%



Platform: Intel PII, debian testing/unstable (sarge)
	  apt 0.5.4,
	  dpkg 1.10.9
	  libc6 2.3.1-16

apt-get doesn't work for me today.  The commands
	apt-get --dry-run dist-upgrade
	apt-get dist-upgrade
	apt-get update

The commands above all write out lines like this
	Reading Package Lists...1%
with the percentage number counting.  When it gets to 98% it crashes,
and the resulting line looks like
	Segmentation faultsts...98%

It worked for me yesterday.  I used it to install tomcat 4.1.18.
The only thing that has happened with the apt database since
yesterday, is that
	apt-get update
has been run as a cron job.

Has the apt database been corrupted somehow?  Is it something I've
read from one of the apt lines?  My sources.list file is attached.

Is there a way to repair this?

Thanx!
