Vreixo, Johannes, I just discovered a profile for:

/home/sarnold/Local/Io/**

was being attached to /usr/bin/grotty.

I think there's something broken with regexps in profile names. (But my firefox profile appears to be working fine, and has for .. six weeks? eight weeks? with the profile name /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.*/firefox.)

I also had trouble with my /etc/init.d/origami profile when I significantly tightened it up, using child profiles. Perhaps child profiles also give AppArmor trouble. (My one other profile with child profiles only executes them once, at boot, so they weren't getting nearly as much use as my origami profile, when I was actively developing it.)

I hope this can help you guys find problem profiles and remove them. My system appears to stable again, now that I've removed the offending profiles. (It was very easy for me to stop running the confined programs, too, since it's just Folding at Home, far from a critical service for me, and the Io Language interpreter, something I was just playing with anyway.)
