As it happens, upgrading to kernel 2.6.27 was not the only change; I

I have a hunch that this is the problem. Have you tried 2.6.27 without
the proprietary ATI drivers?
I'll be running tests on this with various combinations
(2.6.26/2.6.27/Catalyst/open source radeonhd) and see what happens.
Re-emerging a bunch of stuff should do it.
That was easier than expected. I've got segfaults every single time I
emerged mozilla-thunderbird. Both with kernel 2.6.26 as well as 2.6.27.
Reverting back to the open source radeonhd driver made this stop. This
is a serious issue because you'll get segfaults only if you're lucky.
If not lucky, bad machine code could be produced which on Gentoo being
source-based is the worst scenario imaginable.
