Thunderbird causes random logouts

[N.C. Weber]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

While reading RSS results in Thunderbird, the system has a tendency to logout randomly. There doesn't seem to be a specific message or action that causes the logout. I have noticed that Thunderbird can on occasion freeze but it does not gray-out as most programs do when they are doing heavy processing. I have not noticed any correlation between the freezing and the logouts. Also, logouts do not occur when other programs are used and Thunderbird is not active. I do have the Lightning plugin installed, but I rarely use it in actual practice.

This does not seem to be isolated to RSS reader. I experience the same issue when composing an email

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This happens to me, but not only in thunderbird. It happens to me out of thunderbird, at random (however the worst, eg installing updates) times, and really bugs me. Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.
