Might have something to do with this: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=70775

Provide logs created by "strace" or "gdb", this is useless

After trying "strace chromium" 30 times I cannot seem to reproduce the segfault. Yesterday I had one segfault issuing just "chromium" out of about 15. Today I get no segfaults out of 20 "strace chromium" or 20 "chromium", after updating the following packages:
