stop and when.

like some suggestions on how I can better determine what's making it

Have you checked syslog?

and as of now (10.30) it's not working again.  There's no more avahi
related entries in the log

Hmm, could you please run "avahi-daemon --debug" in a terminal (as
root of course) and then let it run? As soon as Avahi
crashes/terminates you should then see some kind of message in that
terminal that explains what is going on.

Even better would be to run it inside gdb and then get a backtrace
when it crashes:

Well, it's stopped working again, but it hasn't crashed or exited.  When
I say 'stopped working' I mean the computer no longer shows up in either
Chicken of the VNC on OSX or Remote Desktop Client & nautilus in Ubuntu.
I ran it under debug this time.  Results below.  If I understand the
backtrace thing properly it will only produce useful information if the
daemon actually crashes - so doing that wouldn't be useful in this case?

It's still sitting there in this 'non working' state at the moment if
there's some other info I can check on?
