Failed to execute default file manager w/ Intel-ucode enabled

Same issue at this post:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=196645

- I have nVidia driver installed - not nouveau.

- all line-items in grub have intel-ucode installed as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microcode.

- I also re-added intel-ucode and re-ran the grub installer as per the article, since the last post claimed this resolved the issue.

Thunar (file manager), Xterm (xfce-terminal) both cause the dmesg output and sefault errors - also report in a GUI popup "Failed to execute default Terminal Emulator. Input/output error."

[ecaz@Donkey ~]$ xfce4-terminal
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The application DOES launch even though it faults.

dmesg output:

[  500.873001] traps: xfce4-terminal[1957] general protection ip:7fc3d1e1b7e0 sp:7ffd651fd738 error:0 in libpthread-2.22.so[7fc3d1e09000+18000]
[ecaz@Donkey ~]$

Looks like everything is crapping out on me :-(

What processor?

Assuming it's a late Broadwell or Skylake: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46064

FML.

I thought I upgraded to Skylake to get away from Elision lock issues.

In any case, thank you sir, as this is what I needed to know.
