Since there have been a couple of kernel updates lately I tried this again and got a different and if anything slightly more serious failure:
Feb 5 10:04:43 bilin1 kernel: hald[2007]: segfault at b7ea0000 eip 080571b6 esp bfacde10 error 4
This occurred when I inserted a CD into the drive. HAL has been running fine for ages before that.
