Two people say they got this crash using the following steps to produce the error:

A. Just ran the following script to fix a stuttering mouse and got this crash.

#!/bin/sh
sudo btnx -k ; sudo modprobe -r usbhid ; sudo modprobe usbhid ; sudo btnx -b

B. I was doing the following when this crash happened:

* I was running WinXP in Virtualbox with very heavy hard drive activity while on battery
* As I got the "Battery critically low" message, I plugged in AC, but apparently gpm did not recognize the plugging immediately
* So my laptop suspended (because I had configured that way) while running Virtualbox and heavy HDD (and possibly CPU) load
* After resume, I got thrown into VT1.
* I switched manually to VT7, and moments later a new X server started on VT8; after logging in, I got the apport crash handler.
