This is the last few lines of the strace on Mozilla....

gettimeofday({1083854615, 288320}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1083854615, 288384}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1083854615, 288406}, NULL) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---

I was also running strace on xmms too, since I've been having problems 
with it crashing randomly, and the results for it's crash were the same 
(gettimeofday.....)

Bit above my knowledge level, so could someone let me know what this 
means?  TIA
