Thanks Igor. I looked at /var/log/setup.log.full and saw that it failing to write to /usr/share/doc/keychain-2.0.3/ChangeLog. The directory had no write permission for the owner (administrator). I have never touched this directory, so I don't know how the permissions got broken. Looking around, I also saw some other directories with dxrxrxr (no w). I don't know where they are getting it from, perhaps postinstall scripts? I don't know why this would make setup go to 100% CPU and start eating memory.

If so, look at the resultant >/var/log/setup.log.full for clues.
