After the 11.04 "upgrade", I've had multiple kernel and application crashes.

Turns out that ecryptfs has been buggy since at least 9.10.  They should
have disabled it a year ago:

If you're using ecryptfs, stop.  Tell Ubuntu to stop offering this broken
file system as an option during installation.
