The espfix64 patch appears to have config options to enable/disable 16 bit support...

Perhaps the 3.2.0-70 kernel was configured to disallow 16 bit segments? Reaching.
Odd that this is now affecting 32 bit kernels too, when the original issue was 64-bit only.

Title:
  Kernel update breaks Picasa

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After Kernel update (3.2.0-70-pae) Picasa for Linux no longer starts
  (shows splash screen, then after a while it closes). After restarting
  the laptop with previous kernel (3.2.0-69-pae), Picasa starts
  normally.

  Back and forth several times -> confirmed

  Doesn't change if trying to start Picasa under Nvidia graphics card
  instead of on-board Intel (Bumblebee)

  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
