I first noticed this problem when I started running Conky.  However, it
had nothing to do with Conky itself, but rather with the rule I put in
ccsm (CompizConfig Settings Manager) to disable shadows on the Conky
window [i.e. Window Decorations -> Shadow Windows = (any) &
!(class=Conky)].  This causes Compiz to segfault in libregex.so,
probably because it's using regex to try to match the window
class/title. To prove this, I stopped running Conky but left the rule in
place and, sure enough, Compiz continues to crash at random times.
Removing the rule fixed the intermittent crashes in my case.
