Comment 28 for bug 446164

I saw this bug after I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and tried to run 'epsxe'. Once I ran 'sudo upx -d epsxe' it fixed the problem...once you run it once on the executable file, you don't have to run it again. It would seem that the new kernel has a problem with executables packaged with UPX-ULC and that manually unpacking them solves the problem. Once I ran upx, the bug stopped happening, and the kernel ceased to crash. I then ran epsxe and it started complaining about missing dependencies, so I went through and installed libgtk1.2, which is not in the current package manager list for some reason.

I currently have one problem with epsxe now. If I run 'epsxe' directly through the terminal, it will not load any plugins or configurations. I have to run the executable directly as the symbolic link does not want to work.
