Comment 54 for bug 124406

I upgraded to kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 (I am using Gentoo, so it's not Ubuntu specific) and the same thing happens to me, seemingly randomly.

(Ctrl+T "locks up" for a few seconds in which time dozens of empty pages opens and with my luck this problem reappears again when I close them with Ctrl+W all of the pages close in couple of seconds lag and then the browser window closes itself as by closing the last active tab in Firefox does.)

Before this upgrade, I had 2.6.21-gentoo-r4 and didn't experience this problem.

This has happened previously as well (I had newer kernel version than 2.6.21 (can't remember which version exactly) back then when this occured and this was among one of the problems why I was forced to downgrade back to 2.6.21-gentoo-r4 where I don't experience this problem)

--- Hardware
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Motherboard: Asus A8N-SLI Premium
NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT (proprietary nvidia module loaded for X 3D acceleration)

No other modules loaded, all configs can be verified in the 2.6.22-gentoo-r9's kernel .config file I attach to this post (next post contains 2.6.21-gentoo-r4's .config)
