No.  The SETI client was running, but the whole time.  Then I saw other 
people reporting crashes with similar errors to mine, and saw something about 
a softupdates problem that seemed to have similar errors.  The vagueness is 
due to by being extremely busy at the time and only glancing through my mail  
:)  I haven't yet had another crash, and I upgraded to -stable (from 4.5-R) 
last night.
