It happened sometimes with plain urxvt (perhaps once a week), and much more often with urxvtd (several times a day). I ended running urxvtd in gdb, and when it crashed the backtrace indeed indicated that Perl had something to do with it (double-free or other errors from glibc).

From recent discussions about troubles with OpenCL as well as

So far it's a wip article on my wiki profile here:

I'd like you to
+ have a look at it and tell me what you think of it ;-)
+ check if my wording is tolerable enough - English isn't my native
language, feel free to correct
+ See if you know anything about the (missing) Nvidia/CUDA parts
I myself am not really acquainted with CUDA and Nvidia-flavoured OpenCL
so I'd like to ask if someone CUDA-savvy out there would be so kind as
to help out and fill in those gaps.

Hi,
That's a very good idea, and your article looks really good :)
I added some stuff about CUDA (I'm the maintainer of the
cuda-{toolkit,sdk} packages on the AUR) and Nvidia's OpenCL (not
familiar with it though). There is room for improvements, but it should
be enough for a start. HTH.
Should this page also mention some {CUDA,OpenCL}-accelerated apps or
language bindings such as PyCUDA and PyOpenCL?
