Enough, enough, already :-)

It was Jonathan's machine, so I can only verify that they did occur. I
think Jonathan has has conveyed information about where some of the
errors were to Darin or Ramiro, along with information about what
packages he was using.

Some of the -Critical errors may have had to do with unclean 
situations with stale processes - we hit some crashes as well.
(Same comments apply to the crashes.)
