Comment 8 for bug 368553

Attaching lshal output.

I've noticed this typo on my Dell XPS M1330 running Jaunty after a system crash. The system became unresponsive after Gimp asked to allocate memory for a 400+Mb file. Then applets (NM and blueman installed from PPA) start crashing and I had to kill X with magic SysRq and reboot.

For reference this is what was in my .xsession-errors file:
