I tried running your .susres file with "apport-bug" on my computer, and it behaves normally. So I figure it's something specific to your computer, such as one of the log files that it wants to collect has become huge. As these tend to get rotated away quickly, can you please first check if you can still reproduce the problem by downloading the attached report (unless you still have it), and running "apport-bug /path/to/susres.2013-03-04_00:21:37.773382.crash"? You can interrupt that with Control-C after some 20 seconds or so, i. e. once it's clear that it still behaves badly.
If so, let's check the various files that Apport is looking at. Please copy&paste the output of ls -lR /var/log/pm-suspend.log /var/log/udev /var/lib/pm-utils /var/log/dist-upgrade/ if one of them is very large that could explain the problem. If not, it's likely one of the commands that apportcheckresume runs, and we need to dig further.
