It turns out the reason I wasn't getting any crashes is because the years were measured _since 1900_, and so my change wouldn't have enabled fatal_criticals until the year 3905. While that is one year sooner than 3906, it would still be a bit long to wait. So, if you made this change, please change again from 2005 to 105 so that you can actually see the crashes. If you didn't make the change, please try it out (though now you need to search for the number 106 instead of 2006). I do get a couple crashes myself, one in libwnck (filed a while ago and with a couple patches from Vincent that we just need an expert (i.e. not me) to review), and one in mixer_applet2 that I filed a bug for.
