    Hi all!

    There's something strange going on with my system. Sometimes, all of a sudden,
    there are lots of colored vertical lines on my monitor. When I switch to a
    terminal at this moment, there's a mix of some funny characters and some of
    the characters that should normally be there. A few of these are only
    displayed half, i.e. every other row erased. The system responds to commands
    as normal, it just looks a bit messy on the screen. The problem doesn't go
    away until I reboot.

    I thought it could be faulty hardware, but then I found out that it is
    reproduceable: It always happens when I visit
    http://directory.google.com/Top/World/Deutsch/Wissenschaft/Mathematik/Angewandte_Mathematik/
    in Mozilla and scroll down the page. I once had this a long time ago with 4.8
    (now I have 4.9), but I can't remember the browser I was using and the exact
    site (it was something in Google directory).

    How can I solve the problem, or at least find out what causes it?

    Regards,
    Daniela
