There are a number of reports coming in with this same crash. Marking as duplicates.

I've looked at the code and haven't been able to spot the bug that's causing it, but all the information is here that we need from the submitters, so marking triaged.

This crash followed another one where I got a message stating there was not enough memory to create a report to send to the developers. Had just completed an update and did a reboot.

Another cash following a normal boot. Don't know why.

Lenovo S10e Netbook, Lucid beta 1, fully updated.
