Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have a bluetooth mouse (although it
is wireless), but I do have a bluetooth keyboard. And -- surprise! -- I
don't get a crash when I leave the keyboard turned off.

It seems to me that there are at least two possibilities here:

1. Something in the bluetooth stack causes some kind of memory corruption

or

2. The corruption is caused by something else, and using bluetooth
shifts it into a memory range where it causes crashes (we already know
that it's very touchy).

Do you know if the original poster in the Red Hat bug report solved the
problem, or did he just give up using bluetooth?

Suggestions for further faultfinding appreciated.

 .....Ron
