Another data point: If I start a non-gnome session, and then launch
nautilus, it does not crash the system.  However, when I start a gnome
session, the machine crashes when nautilus loads.  If I take atapicam
out of my kernel config, rebuild/reinstall the kernel, I do not get any
crashes at all.  Why it worked a couple of times earlier this evening I
do not know.
