This bug is 100% reproducible. I am using Lucid Lynx.

I have attached my crash file. I enabled apport, but it refuses to
upload the crash:

"The problem cannot be reported: The program crashed on an assertion
failure, but the message could not be retrieved. Apport does not support
reporting these crashes."

Why are assertions enabled in production code? And if you choose to
enable them, the apport bug reporter should be able to handle them like
any other crash.

Title:
  Clock Applet crashes for no reason

Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  At random times of the day, the clock-applet will stop working.  I
  won't know until I check the time and notice that it is incorrect
  based on another time source (i.e. phone, laptop, etc..)  Running TOP
  I find a zombie process.  I kill the zombie process and an error will
  pop up with the message "CLOCK" has quit unexpectedly and give me two
  options, close or reload the applet.  I can reload, and the applet
  will start up again, but at a random time, will stop and create the
  zombie process again.  I I choose to close the error, the clock-applet
  no longer displays on my panel.  I can through the "ADD TO PANEL"
  dialog add the clock back to the panel and it will start, but within a
  random amount of time will stop again.

  Ubuntu Version: 10.04 LTS

  What is expected to happen: Clock applet should run without a problem.

  What happens instead: Clock applet stops working after a random period
  of time and a reload is required.
