gnome-netstatus-applet crashed with SIGSEGV in strncpy()

[Everthon Valadão]

Yesterday I left my computer turned on (to download purposes - azureus, miro, wget) and go to sleep, but when I woke up it was turned off! So I launched apport and it told me that gnome-netstatus-applet had crashed... I don't known what happened, but it was the very first time that I saw my Ubuntu turning off by itself... sad! If this help, and I'm using compiz since 3 days ago and I had some intense networking by night...
