hald-probe-input assert failure: *** glibc detected *** /usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-input: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x080492f9 ***

[C. Brayton]

Binary package hint: hal

This seems related to the 'hal not running at login' bug. That is, I got that message at login, then this one, after updating to 2.6.32-10. (cpufreq setting cpu to lowest frequency, and cannot be reset, may also be related. That one has me thinking of switching distros. I am basically working offa Puppy Linux all the time now, waiting for a fix.)
