Comment 1 for bug 285096

Having the same issue, thought I'd add some detail. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit and this issue first became apparent to me through firefox32, which I have to run for various 32-bit-only plugins.

Linux cmccabe-ubuntu 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Mon Aug 25 16:57:51 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I ran a "scrub -X" as root recently, which filled the / filesystem and I think this problem started then. I'm also wondering if this is related to my recent inability to play flash vids; google "flash video stops after 2 seconds ubuntu" for other cases. Going to *gasp* reboot.

Thanks,
Chaz
