hmm, ive been rewritting a new version of dpkg, im just doing some cleanups using dmalloc at the moment, i will probably have something to try in a day or so, this new version should have lower memory usage and will be able to remove, purge and install packages, with dependency checking... it should be more correct than the existing bb version, but i will have to do a closer comparision, it will be bigger unfortunately.

In the meantime i will look at the currect version, the problem is probably due to some changes in the code that it shares with dpkg-deb, i should be able to fix it pretty easy.
