Hello gentlemen,

It happened again. I was just browsing over the web thru Firefox with Gaim and Xchat opened. Suddenly, I got a high CPU usage and thru the top command I could detect that apport was running.

When apport closed, I've noticed that Firefox was closed. When I tried to reopen Firefox, I got a segfault/core dump.

I pressed CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to refresh Xorg and GDM opened perfectly. I entered my login and password and the Ubuntu splash appeared, then the system stoped. No apps opened after that, even gnome-panel. I belive they were all getting segfault.

I rebooted my computer and now it seems to be working fine. I'm writing this comment thru Firefox.

This seems to be a very serious problem, since it produces a strong crash system and cannot be easily reproduced.
