Spontaneous pulseaudio death

[Rick Stevens]

Hi gang.  I've recently been having spontaneous pulseaudio daemon deaths
occuring.  The daemon just quits.  There is a trace of it in
/var/log/messages:

Oct 20 13:27:45 prophead pulseaudio[9301]: shm.c: shm_open() failed: No 
such file or directory
Oct 20 13:27:45 prophead pulseaudio[9301]: pstream.c: Failed to import 
memory block.

Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this.  It may be related to
a vpnc issue as it seems to happen after I've had to do a couple of
vpnc...vpnc-disconnect cycles, but I can't confirm that as yet.

Oh, yeah, this is a fully updated F8 machine with pulseaudio 0.9.8 and
vpnc 0.5.1.  Yes, I know F8 is old, but I need Xen for a couple of
things and F9's dom0 for Xen is a no-go (says so in the release notes
and confirmed by actual attempts to use it).
