This started happening this morning: [ adamk at sorrow - ~ ]: gnome-terminal Fatal error 'gc cannot wait for a signal' at line ? in file /usr/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_gc.c (errno = ?) Abort trap (core dumped) Same for mozilla, thunderbird, firefox, etc.. I left my machine, brushed my teeth, came back, and suddenly it's working again. Any ideas what happened? Adam
