I was launching the game FTL: faster than light on steam then ubuntu 13.10 restarted unexpectedly before the game appeared. The same behavior was present on Ubuntu 13.04 too.

The attached stack trace is unusable but the description of how to reproduce this problem may be of some value. Leaving open so someone can investigate from that angle.
