Public bug reported:
Since I updated to 8.10 my system crashes several times a day with the
caps lock and numlock keys flashing. It is hard crash and the only way
out is to reboot.
It quite often happens when I am using Firefox, but sometimes when
firefox is not running but I am using Skype. When I look in the
messages I see a firefox segfault just before the restart.
E.g.
Nov 12 10:08:20 laptop kernel: [ 214.194942] firefox[7127]: segfault at
b79a4a9e ip b7cea571 sp bf993b14 error 4 in libc-2.8.90.so[b7cbc000+158000]
