Comment 275 for bug 355155

Sound/flash now appear to be the killers for me. My machine has now been running overnight and through the morning and seems happy enough. I had a freeze yesterday with a scim-launcher segfault while I was listening to music and then clicked on a heavy flash site. That was the experience I had before, although I also had a few npviewer.bin segfaults which I assume are related. It has now been up 17 hours and I have been able to work for the early part of the day. However, I have not used any sound or looked at flash heavy sites, or indeed used Skype. Those things seem to accelerate the crash. I read in one of these posts that they cause rapid memory leaks. Throughout all of this I have had heavy network activity through updates and various downloads, so I'm not sure the network is the problem for me.
