My hardware is similar but PC133 ram, only PS/2 stuff, no USB at present, using
the nvidia 4496 drivers, Kernel 2.6.test8.

The kernel frequently logs some non-critical errors generated by the
nvidia crap, but X never dies, nor do any apps fail for the most part.

When I say "poof," I should be more specific - maybe 3 times in 3 months.  The
failures are random - once after a download completed; the other times
retreiving a new page with several tabs open.  I'm using a binary installed via
a standard gentoo package.

Other than this I can give Firebird 0.7 a clean bill of health, well almost.  I
do encounter the occasional url with a webpage that doesn't format very
well, but that's probably due to some ie6-specific stuff in the page.

In your case, Myles, I would suspect nvidia drivers, USB mouse, combination of
all of the above with acpi, or ???, probably nothing to do with Firebird.
