A complicating factor with this bug is how random it is. Sometimes you get several freezes a day, and sometimes it can be weeks between the freezes. Totally random. I think many of the reports that the bug has gone away are just cases of the bug not showing itself for several days or even weeks, although it's still there.
I really thought I was out of the woods, since the bug hadn't hit me for a week or two, but then, a few minutes ago, my computer froze again. I was doing work at the time, and was not very happy (to put it mildly...) although luckily no data was lost. The next time I might not be so lucky. So, since this bug is marked as Wontfix, and since no developers seem to care, I'm off to look for another distro.
