compiz assert failure: *** glibc detected *** compiz: corrupted double-linked list: 0x00007f76cc89cb30 ***

[Britt Yazel]

This has happened in the past few days randomly, most recently today after just logging in and having the software center open. The whole system just locks up and freezes (though I maintain mouse movement), and then compiz restarts itself.
