I am experiencing the same thing. Firefox 2.0, VMware Server Console (not the VMware Server itself) and bittorrent die on me at random intervals, approximately once or twice a day (bittorrent more often than that). No other applications seem to be affected in my case (I don't use Claws mail like the OP). I first noticed this with Firefox 1.5, but it was hanging instead of dying. That's why I installed 2.0, but the only change was that it started dying instead of hanging. Not sure if this is related, but the KDE Panel died on me three times so far as well. My setup is 32 bit CentOS 5 with few tools like bittorrent installed from rpmforge, ASUS A8N-E motherboard with 3GB RAM and AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+, Nvidia graphics controller and plenty of disks space on 1 EIDE and 2 SATA drives.
