Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-utils
On my system, a fully updated Edgy Eft, 2.6.17-11-generic kernel on an Asus M2N-SLI with AMD X2 4600+ 65W processor, 2GB RAM, I intermittently get segmentation faults when taking screenshots (gnome-screenshot, from command-line or from print screen button.)

Additionally, I regularly have problems writing PNG files from *any* application. Segmentation faults that result from the other applications are at exactly the same place as the one listed above. I've performed memtest86+ for three cycles with no errors detected. I have tested this with a Live Edgy CD with the same results. I have also tested this with Feisty Herd 5 with the same results. I am in the process of testing this on Dapper (as soon as the torrent finishes.) I will be happy to provide any further information as required - this is a big show-stopper for me. ** Affects: gnome-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- libpng/zlib segmentation fault in gnome-screenshot https://launchpad.net/bugs/90198 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
