Still happening. There seems to be a pattern related to USB activity: doing a large transfer to USB disk can cause the error. My onboard, HDA, sound card shares an interrupt with the USB controller. So I suspect that heavy USB activity can cause some kind of under- or overrun, or other error involving IRQs, and these buggy programs are not able to correctly recover.
