It can be as soon as a few minutes after a reboot. It happens by just by doing simple tasks, but I can't see how to make it repeatable. Only seems to happen in KDE apps, and only started happenning after I upgraded to 2.4.20. I reverted back to 2.4.18 and everything is stable again. I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem or not. I haven't run a proper memcheck in about a year, but last time I did everything checked out.
