I've NEVER seen this before.. and I've NEVER had an app segfault on me on this box. # emerge unmerge libXvMC x11-libs/libXvMC selected: 0.99.1 protected: none omitted: none >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. >>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting... >>> (Control-C to abort)... >>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1 >>> Unmerging x11-libs/libXvMC-0.99.1...

Does dmesg provide you with any information? Can you reproduce it? If you can, what does strace show? You haven't provided any information here that could be of any use.
It reproduced twice and then went away. The other weird thing that's happened to me with rc6 is the following. dlaptop ~ # emerge -uD mpeg4ip Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) media-video/mpeg4ip-1.3 to / >>> md5 files ;-) mpeg4ip-1.0.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) mpeg4ip-1.1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) mpeg4ip-1.2.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) mpeg4ip-1.3.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/mpeg4ip-1.1-gcc3.4.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-mpeg4ip-1.0 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-mpeg4ip-1.1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-mpeg4ip-1.2 >>> md5 files ;-) files/mpeg4ip-1.1-gentoo-fixes.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/mpeg4ip-1.2-mp4encode-template-path.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-mpeg4ip-1.3 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) mpeg4ip-1.3.tar.gz * libfaac is compiled against libmp4v2 dlaptop ~ # And it just dumps me back at the command line.

The latter is bash itself segfaulting. Emerge/portage doesn't report it in any way yet. The former is python itself segfaulting.
So I don't think its stuff actually segfaulting. It looks like I've run into the biggest of big memleaks in modular X. What caused the problem was that ALL my memory was eaten up and OOM killer was getting aggressive on me. It didn't kill firefox until I switched to a different screen. And that's when I began to look around with that. I'll just close this bug out as invalid.
