I've written a basic script that runs a set of random plymouth commands
"post-boot". I am still unable to recreate the SIGSEGV crash on all my
hardware, but it would be interesting to see if those who are
experiencing the problem can run this script to generate a crash. If
you're willing...

1. Download script:

    cd /tmp && wget
http://people.canonical.com/~jhunt/plymouth/test_plymouth.sh

2. Make it executable:

    chmod 755 test_plymouth.sh

3. Install required package:

    sudo apt-get install plymouth-x11

4. Run 2 instances of script

4a) In one terminal:

      sudo /tmp/test_plymouth.sh --server

4b) In another terminal:

    sudo /tmp/test_plymouth.sh --client --max 2048

Unfortunately, you *might* find that the server instance of the script
will exit with a "Too many open files" message. This issue as been
reported with plymouth upstream. To work around this, before running the
server instance of the script
