xfs is the application in question. It has not ever puked and died on my
system that I know of. It is a required process for xorg under
RedHat/Fedora systems. It is replacing the antiquated static fonts from
the 20 years old X. As long as the system will reboot OK and X is
working, don't worry about it. Check your shutdown sequence and see if
if it is called twice by mistake.
