    Have you tried to disable the extra repository ? (The extra repository
    is needed only for installations, not for updates.)

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Extra background info

    Sometimes I get a similair message. Mostly when I compile a gimp cvs
    version. It is caused by a combination of running to much (like many
    apache hits and continiuously compiling) at the same time, with to less
    memory and rising cpu temperature. (My harddisk is faster than my
    memory) This only happens after fifteen minutess of heavy cpu duty.

    So I think the segments are a cooling problem. Since it only happens
    when my cpu temp gets above the 56 degrees. (Still 13 degrees to go)

    I restart my pc and the segments disappear. Appearently some library
    crashes. I don't know wich.
