If some other application isn't configured correctly (i.e. the flags in the header of the executable), the kernel may kill Thing because it's trying to access the memory of that application (which is required by some GEM protocols). Since a lot of code has been developed using that bad excuse for an OS called MagiC (which lacks memory protection), it's not entirely uncommon that applications aren't setup correctly. IIRC there's a good doc about that in the freemint sources… somewhere.
