Hello fellow frustrated users.

I also ran into this problem earlier. I have been working on a patch that resolves a major memory leak in the dist-upgrade scripts. Certain raised exceptions are causing infinite loops to occur. Currently, I have only been able to resolve one of these infinite loops, but the memory leak still remains. On the plus side, the upgrade is able to gracefully fail with the current patch and attempt recovery instead of just exiting. I would love to have some of you all test it out and post your resulting logs. It will greatly help diagnose the problem.
