I just had it happen again. I was in emacs. I was on buzzword-bingo
when it happened. It was just about 7 pm today. (15 minutes ago).
The error, from the logs my terminal program keeps:
-------
Process shell exited abnormally with code 1
no process)--L35Bot
Fatal error (1).[1] Hangup find_user dbyu
./var/tmp/.netscape-cache-blout: No such file or directory
