I rather think that it is Apport running wild. I disabled it since it
produces unnecessary noise. The crashes are then detected by Dr.
Konqi, which is much more tolerant with that. It seems Apport pops up
whenever a system process is killed, regardles if it is a crash or
not.

But without telling us what applications crash we can hardly help further.
