'may' -> 'is not'
It is fundamentally impossible for APT, let alone any users space program
to crash a properly designed OS (for example, Linux) The fact that your
systems are crashing in a permanent way indicates a fundamental problem
either with the OS or your hardware.
I suggest you talk to the kernel people, or maybe ask if you don't have a
particularly buggy kernel version, or something like that. In fact the
kernel people will probably tell you to replace your
hardware/recompile/upgrade/whatever so you might want to try stuff like
that first.
