Very little.  The seg_faults seem to be occuring somewhat randomly in
ImLib and Gnome.5 with references to some functions from libc_r.  The
faults only seem to occur on heavy load situations.  The same
applications are rock-solid under KDE2.2 (I'm using it right now--having
to restart one's mail agent four or five time to read one e-mail is a
little hard to take).  If anyone with the skill is interested, I'd be
happy to debug build any/all of the necessary components.
