I am getting a lot of these crashes and from the numerous bug reports it seems like a lot of people are too. Happens about once every week and every time it happens, the whole interface freezes up for 30 seconds or so before it restarts. I almost always get these while doing a search in the Dash or quitting a fullscreen game.
