Thanks for your report.

The error is
*** glibc detected *** scrollkeeper-update: corrupted double-linked list: 0x08052238 ***
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6[0x
/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0)[0xb7d37450]
scrollkeeper-update[0x8048f91]

This is a known issue and discussed in bug 218049 but scrollkeeper has been removed from the development release of Ubuntu and is not being maintained. Further bug fixing is extremely unlikely.

However I'm marking this report as duplicate of bug 218049.
