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.
