Not much we can do about that one at this point.

Has that been typically what you've been doing when you get the X
Errors?  I must admit I don't use the "View" dialogs that much
myself, except to look at Uptime or Bulletins.  There could be some
lurking errors there that haven't been found.  Let us know what your
typical uses are when you get these sorts of errors, particularly if
you think the "X Errors" happen at the exact time of the Segfaults.

The last one is just plain weird.  As Jack Twilley mentioned, there
shouldn't be any strings of hex characters at that point in the
code.  I'm also curious as to which interface you're using.
