+Ubuntu 11.10 warning
+====================
+
+Ubuntu 11.10 has a package called 'qt-at-spi' installed by default. At the time of writing, having that package
+installed causes bitcoin-qt to crash intermittently. The issue has been reported as `launchpad bug 857790`_, but
+isn't yet fixed.
+
+Until the bug is fixed, you can remove the qt-at-spi package to work around the problem, though this will presumably
+disable screen reader functionality for Qt apps:
+
+::
+
+ sudo apt-get remove qt-at-spi
