I've dropped back to the previous kernel to see if that makes a
difference, based on what I saw in the google results I mentioned in my
second post. IIRC, with the previous kernel *and* prev FF, I'd had some
issues, but never a panic. I'd been looking forward to a new FF,
thinking that would fix things. Symptoms were a "slow freeze" when I had
lots of things running on a Gnome desktop (two sets of mail, FF, gnome
terminal for two users - 1 native via login, the other "su -" invoked,
multiple tabs in FF and terminal, and several OO spreadsheets). Doing a
C&P operation would sometimes result in severe lack of responsiveness
from that point on. Might take a half hour until I could even kill
things and start anew.
Various diags would show no swap use, nothing odd about memory usage,
etc. But repainting the workspaces would take a *long* time.
Maybe all this was a sign of that bug in a larval stage.
