After a reboot, I find that the latest kernel (-24) does not boot. I get
some segmentation fault right around the time it's mounting root (didn't
write it down). The previous kernel (-8) boots, but X no longer starts
and bash crashes if I try to log in at the console:

malloc: ../bash/subst.c:3472: assertion botched
free: called with unallocated block argument
Aborting...Aborted (core dumped)

This indicates to me that there may be a much bigger problem with this
system than just gconftool-2.

Methinks it may be time to wipe the Hardy partition and start again.
I'll keep it around a while for forensics if other people start having
similar trouble.
