I don't suppose while you're re-writing aptiutde you can make it not hit
swap when I start the curses interface on my P-II with 64 MB ram (or
will Lenny and whatever comes next not run on 64MB anyway)?

Do you have /tmp on tmpfs on that box too? (I know you have it on at
least one other box). Because if aptitude is using some temporary files
this would explain the swapping.
