I was looking at a YouTube video in Firefox, and abrt popped up with a crash alert.  I have no idea what, if any, relationship there would be between them.   GKrellM appeared to keep running smoothly -- there was no interruption in any of the graphs.  Other than that, I don't know what to say.  I don't know what caused the crash, and I have no idea how to re-create it.  There was a previous crash this month, but abrt didn't report it.  

When the crash occurred, there was a popup notification that the core file was too big.  I hope it wasn't; I recently added about five gigabytes to /var, and set the coresize to unlimited.  (This is the second time abrt has told me this; it may be an error on abrt's part.)

Anyway, if you need me to run any tests, let me know, I'd be happy to help.

The backtrace points to a failure in atk-spi when it tries to clean up some things on exit from a registered exit handler, changing component.

Dale, looking at the backtrace it suggests this crash happened while you exited from gkrellm, did you quit gkrellm?

Would that be related to bug 657967?  That one seems responsible for quite a number of seemingly-random failures.

No, I hadn't.  It's by far my favorite tool for displaying system status.  I have it set to start when I log in, and it stays running until I log out.  To tell the truth, GKrellM did not seem to have died at all, since the graphs were uninterrupted.

BTW, you may be interested in bug 689314.  It's the same sort of thing (at least from my point of view).  This bug may be a duplicate of that one, I don't know.  I'm afraid I'd forgotten about it when I submitted this bug report.

At a first glance that one seems unrelated.

Weird, this makes me wonder if the backtrace is correct at all. Maybe abrt detected some older core file of a previous crash and used that ??

Erm, this is bug 689314, so you probably meant another bug ?

Ack!  That's... interesting.  I seem to have encountered a bug in Bugzilla.  On my "My Bugs" page, _this_ bug is listed as being assigned to mclasen, while the older bug report -- bug 678896, which is the one I'd meant to reference in my previous comment -- is shown assigned to you.  And since I'd gone by the assignee field when doing my cut-and-paste, I got the wrong number.

As for abrt getting confused and using an old backtrace, I suppose it's possible.  /var/spool/abrt does contain several old reports, including the older gkrellm report.  However, I looked at the backtraces and they aren't the same.  The one referenced in this bug report is the one from the most recent gkrellm crash.  So I don't think abrt is getting confused.
