I just ran into this as well.

Fresh install on dual Xeon dual-core 64-bit chips. I removed the CD,
rebooted, installed the nVidia driver and ran all of the updates,
rebooted, and Firefox, Epiphany, and Gnome Terminal all give bus errors
on startup now.

This looks similar to what other posters are reporting, so I doubt it's random.

Reinstalling firefox, the kernel, cupsys, and libc6 (all of which were
upgraded in the update I performed) fixed things.

This appears to be a problem with at least the update utility, or with
whatever it uses on the back-end.
