Given that it (apparently) happens on X servers compiled months ago,
my gut feeling is that it is a bug in the kernel floating point
context save/restore in the presence of signals.

I still can't run X without crashing the *kernel* because of the
conglomeration of hacks that was added to i386/machdep.c to paper-over
floatingpoing problems after the latest KSE brea^W import.  The 
last machdep.c that works for me is 1.539.  This has been dragging
on for nearly 2 weeks.
