The backtrace is small and crashes with "0xb6fa9bf5 in ?? () from
/usr/lib/libmfp.so"

After searching around, I find many reports like this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/samsung-driver-security-hole-587587/
and:
http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/18/0319203

We *did* just install the proprietary Samsung printer drivers for a new
printer and many reports say that libmfp is affected by the Samsung
drivers. The Samsung drivers are changing binaries to suid and then
requiring them to run as root. It can be fixed by following this post:

So, this is not an Ubuntu problem but maybe one of the Ubuntu devs has
some Samsung contacts and could possibly get this security hole (and
bugs) fixed.
