I ran into this myself when trying to reproduce bug #446288. I'm using
linux-image 2.6.22-4 so I don't think 401482 is to blame.

This error message was printed on the terminal;

        sa at zoe$ rhythmbox
        Multiple segmentation faults occurred; can't display error
        dialog
        sa at zoe$ ptrace: No such process.
        /home/sa/27873: No such file or directory.
        No stack.
        /usr/share/bug-buddy/gdb-cmd:3: Error in sourced command file:
        No registers.

It haven't happened since, and I seem to get useful backtraces.
