I have an intermittent crash of XFree86. It happens about once a week.

FWIW, in case this is an easy one, I'm including some system information.
I have an NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, with dual-monitors. The two monitors are at
different resolutions (an unfortunate problem with the pixel clock on the
LCD output on the GeForce2 MX). I run fluxbox on Red Hat 8.0. The crash
usually occurs when switching focus to my browser (which is pretty much
always the only window on the low-res monitor). Browser is Mozilla
Firebird (could be unstable).
SYSTEM configuration information:

GNU/Linux
I've tried Mark's suggestion to replace freetype with xtt, but the crash
still occurs. I did shut down xdm and so now I have a log file to attach.
I see nothing relevant in /var/log/messages, so I did not attach that.
It is a seg fault, and it always happens when using the browser.
Please help if you can!
