couple of strange issues

[Marshall Lewis]

1. Nautilus segfaults on startup.  It wasn't always so : ) worked fine
until I actually got kudzu working (which involved a kernel upgrade). 
Then after about the 3rd reboot under the new kernel (with Kudzu
running) Nautilus began segfaulting.

2. Also.. on the 3rd reboot with kudzu running.. (on the 2nd it had
picked up my usb controllers) it starts degrading performance, I have no
idea what is going on, but kudzu will hang for between 5-10 minutes
during boot, then boot up will continue, but everything acts like I'm
accessing it across a modem, screen refreshes are very slow (console and
x windows) , hitting enter takes 5-10 seconds to think about it.. actual
typing seems normal though.  And I'm not seeing any errors in
/var/log/messages or dmesg.

I tried removing kudzu from the boot up, and everything is fine except
that Nautilus will still segfault and my mouse won't work (because the
usb drivers modules don't load).. if I load the usb modules, my mouse
starts working, but performance goes to hell again.

Tonight I'll try disconnecting most of what I have on usb and see if I
can determine if it's a particular device causing the slowdown issue,
but I could really use help determining what the Nautilus problem is.  I
feel like it must be hardware (module?) related since it was working
fine until kudzu ran a couple of times, but I'm not sure how to get
useful information out of it.

Oh, last bit of info, I'm running FC2T2 x86_64.  Prior to the clean
install I did Saturday, I was running recent development.. I had the
Nautilus segfault problem then, it went away after the clean install,
and then didn't come back until I had kudzu running.

Thanks for any help....
