I was away from my computer for one week, and so ran a massive update on sunday night. After the update, on Monday morning, I woke up to find my xsession ended with a message on the console that said something to the effect that Enlightenment segfaulted, because some supporting library tries to access memory that it shouldn't be accessing.
I dismissed it as enlightenment throwing a hissy fit. But the same thing happened again this morning. The problem is, I don't quite know how to diagnose it. /var/log/Xorg.log only tells me it caught sig 11 and will die. Honestly, I don't think running strace will be the best idea yet, I'd like to save it as a last possibility, for the only reason that I don't even know how to reproduce the crash. X was up and running yesterday for over 14 hours, and enlightenment just crashed in the middle of the night. So: what logs should I check and how should I find out what exactly is causing the problem?
