Earth Stability on Liquid Galaxy - Spontaneous Crashes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Earth continues to spontaneously crash on Liquid Galaxy.  This January we did 
some troubleshooting and resolved to wait until we upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and 
its newer version of glibc.  After upgrading, the crashes are much less 
frequent, but they persist.

An example is included in this comment, though there are a few other variations 
as well.
