I installed the new kernel, 2.6.32, and still have the same problem with the greeter, synaptic, firefox, and thunderbird getting segmentation faults. The gdb traceback for synaptic hints that the problem is in libc. The top of the traceback follows. It looks to my (partially- trained eyes) that there's a problem with strncmp/strcmp for x86_64. This may affect the kernel, but the effect I'm seeing is in programs outside the kernel.
