Description of problem: System: Linux north.spielhausle 2.6.21-1.3116.fc7 #1 SMP Thu Apr 26 10:36:44 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I've observed this happen before: One is occasional crashing of firefox on sites that have plenty of java and flash garbage (commercials) running, and now during an attempted system update. I had firefox open and at the same time the Software updater running. Don't know what to blame, but figured it may be useful for someone to find and fix more errors. Here is the tail of /var/log/messages when the crash occured: May 9 22:09:19 north restorecond: Will not restore a file with more than one hard link (/etc/resolv.conf) No such file or directory May 9 22:34:31 north gconfd (root-15622): starting (version 2.18.0.1), pid 15622 user 'root' May 9 22:34:31 north gconfd (root-15622): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0 May 9 22:34:31 north gconfd (root-15622): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/root/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 1 May 9 22:34:31 north gconfd (root-15622): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only configuration source at position 2 May 9 22:35:01 north gconfd (root-15622): GConf server is not in use, shutting down.

The crashes are completely intermittent and I don't see a pattern of how they occur.
What specifically crashes? Are you logged out, or does the entire machine crash?
