Sat, March 3, 2007 - 2:03 PMIt's happened to me with Xubuntu and FF. The cache gets full and FF barfs. FF 2.0.0.1is buggy as all hell if that is the version you have. -

You may want to boot into memtest and leave that running over night to make sure its not faulty RAM causing your issue.

Wed, March 7, 2007 - 11:07 AMAre you running gnome? I was experiencing similar problems (I have 2gb) while running gnome. Switching to an alternate WM did the trick for me. I'm using xfce now and I really dig it. -
