I've facing this issue on a regular basis - 2-3 times a week for a last year. This bug was in 10.04, now it is in 10.10 . I've tried tried to update kernel, build my own from vanila source, build form zen sources - every time the same result. As for me, this issue usualy happens after suspend-resume, and there is only 2 ways to fix that - 1 - reboot, 2 - close everithing I can to free up as much as possible RAM and wait. Sometimes this helps, sometimes not.
