I just tried it and it crashed my X server as well (both the Xnest I ran
it in and the real X server). This sounds like an X server bug to me (no
application should be able to crash the X server -- if they can, it is an
X server bug).
This does not help you very much, but I don't know what I can do about it.
Maybe you could file a bug report with the XFree guys.
James.
