A new version from xenial-proposed fixes the issue for me.

I was able to reproduce it in a freshly installed VM (VMware).

The bug is still reproducible in xenial.

The problem is still an issue on i686 PAE kernel in raring.
Got a Lenovo W520 Laptop with 24GiB of RAM. "apt-get update" takes several
minutes.
However I found a workaround as alternative to removing the memory physically.
Add "mem=0x2" kernel boot parameter in /etc/default/grub in run
up
