I'll try to go unstable first and then back to stable if that doesn't
work. I am still running 32 bit x86 since it's an older machine
(1.1Ghz AMD). I have examined the strace logs for all of the programs
when they go "kerput" but I haven't seen any commonalities in the logs
that have resulted in an epiphany about what could be causing my issue
yet.
