I can say, I'm using the same nvidia driver with gnome, so I doubt that
the crashes on my side have to do with the proprietary nvidia stuff. And
last, but not least, the kernel:

Linux borgcube 3.8.0-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 16 15:17:14 UTC
2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I tend to a libc-problem, although I must admit the trigger for the
crash won't come that often (here the post-starter with console-setup &
me with XFCE, IMHO not very commonly used I guess)

Title:
  Upgrade i386 12.10 to 13.04 fails segfaulting in libc 2.17 breaking
  system

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I upgraded using console do-release-upgrade on i386 (Intel Pentium 4 HT with 64bit support) from 12.10 to 13.04.
  After installing a couple of packets during upgrade including libc, all subproccesses startet to segfault in libc-2.17.so , so upgrade abortet though the system was in an unusable state.

   Booting into initramfs gives me a console but chroot /root bash fails
  with a double free error and chroot ... dpkg as well as other tools
  still fail with libc segfault.

  
  I could not find any information about raised hardware requirements but would have expected do-release-upgrade to check for them if applicable.
