Jerry Schaefer posted a new comment:
Evidently this bug is a duplicate of Bug #106060, as all the symptoms are the same, and the hardware & software are the same.
Anyone looking for more information should be able to find it in that bug report. It showed up in updates distributed 04-10-2007.

I don't know about everyone's workload, but I would think that after more than 5 months since this crasher bug was reported,
someone could have removed or blocked the Molecule module so at least it won't bother users until it can be fixed to work. Not
everyone is capable of using the gconf editor to de-select Molecule so they don't have to re-install their operating system. :-)
It's like leaving a live bomb lying where kids play. Couldn't we at least put it away somewhere until we can defuse it? It's not
an essential part of the system - it's just an optional frill - so removing the option to choose it seems like a good workaround.
