Bug Description

installing new kept back kernel version
bombs like previous times

odd authorization and memory error this time
and only had synaptic, firefox and xemacs running
plus gkrellm...

you may not want it reported, but it's still causing
apport to run, so reporting it, feel free to duplicate
it, or make it invalid like so many bug reports I've seen
triaged and time wasted...

it's still a bug if it crashes, whether the kernel
or package is ready to be released.../ awaiting something
upstream or whatever...
