compiz.real crashed with SIGSEGV in reallocDisplayPrivate()

[David D Short]

Binary package hint: compiz

I didn't notice anything crash, but the crash report came up. Several crash reports have come up since I installed “ubuntu-desktop” on my Kubuntu Intrepid machine. I trust that all the necessary information will be added to this report automatically. I'm not going to go back and search for more info to add.

Looking at the stacktrace this appears to be stack corruption as there is no way a crash could happen in that function otherwise. That makes this bug impossible to debug unless someone is able to consistently reproduce it. Is anyone having this problem consistently anymore?
