Are these crashes reproducible?

If so, does it still crash if you do:
 rm -f /var/cache/apt/*.bin
?

Or if you do
 rm -f /var/cache/apt/*.bin
 apt-get update -o APT::Cache-Start=100000000
?

Also, ensure that your hardware is not at fault:
Such unreproducible crashes are often the first symptom
of a faulty memory (or other hardware pieces).
