How did you upgrade?

Fresh install via kickstart. I reformatted the root and /boot partitions, but left one user partition untouched.

Is it possible that you have older (possibly orphaned) binaries still installed from the upgrade process?

I don't think this is possible since I reformatted the root partition (I only have /, /boot, and /scratch partitions in addition to a swap partition).

If this is from a NEW install, then we need more info to help.

The process ends without leaving a trace unfortunately (at least that I can find). I did have an strace running on one system attached to the gnone-terminal process and it finally died after 5 days or so. Here are the last 20 lines from the log:

  write(2, "The program \'gnome-terminal\' rec"..., 592) = 592

  exit_group(1)                           = ?

Is there a better way than strace to get some information on this crash?
