:This started happening this morning:
:
:[ adamk@sorrow - ~ ]: gnome-terminal 
:Fatal error 'gc cannot wait for a signal' at line ? in file /usr/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_gc.c (errno = ?)
:Abort trap (core dumped)
:
:Same for mozilla, thunderbird, firefox, etc..

:I left my machine, brushed my teeth, came back, and suddenly it's working again.  Any ideas what happened?

    Ah, interesting.  I think this is related to the reports of clock problems,
    e.g. people's clocks going too fast or too slow.

    My guess is that clock_gettime(), which calls nanotime() in the kernel,
    is getting an illegal nanoseconds field.

    I've been trying to find that bug for weeks, I'll focus on checking the
    nanoseconds calculation tomorrow.  Er, later today.
