unique stack trace.
*** Bug 307931 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.
No response from anyone. Marking INCOMPLETE. Feel free to reopen and add more comments.
I believe this, along with many other problems I was having, was due to a memory corruption issue. I had a 512mb simm in a 256mb slot and since removing it all crashes and file system corruption have gone away. Sorry for wasted time on the issue.
