Strange! I have an ATI graphic card in my system and I had installed both
8.3 and 8.4.
But not the Catalyst Control Center, just the display drivers. For now,
8.4 is installed.

So you are not experiencing any fork() problems any longer? Really
strange. What kind of sh*** the ATI drivers must be ...
Also the time window seems appropriate. 8.3 was released in March I think
and that is around the same time when I payed attention to the error the first
time

Really seems so. :-(
