Subject: Strange error?

Greetings all;

This line showed up in my log a couple of hours ago, several minutes removed
from anything else I was doing at the time:

rarian-sk-get-c[31855]: segfault at 00000000 eip 00b7c153 esp bf9ddf0c error 4

The system acts and feels normal.

Does anyone have a clue to loan me?

Thanks.

I would ask the rarian developers:

http://rarian.freedesktop.org/

My barely-educated guess is that Gnome was doing a routine re-index of
its help files and and the app got bored and decided to dereference a
NULL pointer for fun. Your desktop documentation index may be
incomplete or corrupt. Try not to panic.
