[Jackson Byers]

$ uname -r
2.6.35.14-97.fc14.i686.PAE


chrome suddenly quit; no response to clicks on icon

trying manually:

$ /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome &
[2] 4311
$ [4311:4311:95679337296:ERROR:process_singleton_linux.cc(250)] Failed

multiple instances would start multiple browser processes rather than
opening a new window in the existing process. Aborting now to avoid
profile corruption.

[2]+  Exit 20                 /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome


I then rebooted, and chrome came up as usual.

advice?
