segmentation fault in libgpg after every five minutes

[ભાવિન દોશી]

i have root filesystem as ext4. there has been problems reported about nautilus crashing due to libgpg. i thought i had the same problem, and didnt file a new bug. but today, while observing the log file, i found out that libgpg causes segfault every five minutes (with fluctuation of 4-5 seconds). it never disrupted the normal working of my pc, but i think this is causing serious problems everywhere. some of them are given below.

i tried to open gnomines. played one game. then tried to make board larger (medium size) from prefs. it crashed. but this is one time only. when i did it after restart, it worked properly.

while copying some files and pasting them somewhere else, nautilus crashes and desktop icons disappear. i could never find a pattern in crashing. it crashes for one file once, then works fine. crashes with any types of files, file names, folder names, file system (ext3 and ext4). but behaviour is completely random. once it crashes, then it doesnt. dont know what was going on.

program: aptoncd. tried to backup my things. in create, while reading database, it goes upto 90%. then crashes always, sometimes at 91% and sometimes at 92%. again, segfaults from libgpg.

main point is the periodic segfaults from libgpg. that may be the key to the whole ext4 being unstable problem too.

giving here log messages from section 'messages' of three different times. (three different restarts on same machine.) because values of segfault are different.
