Same here. It would seem that the bug was already present but not
provoked, I guess.
Anyway, since Albert posted his patch, all my problems with the
freezing issue have gone away, so I'm not switching to
Karmic/whatever until I know that there's a patch that will work on
that platform.
And Intrepid had a few other issues that I don't want to worry about
again.
