Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Hello,

"unexpected end of file or stream"
and
[ 5720.073418] python3[10129]: segfault at 10055 ip 0811fe8b sp bfb80930 error 4 in python3.2mu[8048000+235000]

I wonder if you have memory or motherboard problems; if you can, I suggest running memtest86 overnight to try to rule out hardware issues.

Good luck, and thanks for filing the bug report.
