Sorry I can't give you a lot of info, I didn't really experience a crash but had an error message (see attached screenshot) after running Update Manager today, 11/24/2009. After rebooting the crash/error manager showed up in the top panel.
Hope the error report makes it and is helpful.

Don't know what to do with the changed package? It doesn't appear in
the Update Manager.
Also, don't know if this is related but now when I install different
packages from Synaptic or the Ubuntu Software Center I receive the
following error message, only the installed package line is different:
installed cd/dvd creator
E: linux-image-
script returned error exit status 1
E: linux-image-
E: linux-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
The installed package either doesn't work or isn't fully operational.
More and more apps have become unstable/unusable in the last week,
should I just reinstall 9.10 and then downgrade grub? Or downgrade my
whole system to 9.04? I don't have the knowledge or time to learn all
about the intricacies of Ubuntu/Linux, sorry, just want it to work like
it did with 9.04.
