hmm maybe I haven't managed to leave it running long enough without me
doing something with it. I'll try overnight.

I verified that this is printed well before the crash happens so I'm
pretty sure its totally unrelated.

I have Adblock Plus 2.2.4 and Flashblock 1.5.17 as "Extensions", and
linux-f10-flashplugin-11.2r202.285 via nspluginwrapper 1.4.4 as a plugin.

I tried disabling all of them but it still crashes.
