Ordinarily, I would also point to I/O errors, but not this time. I
have had this same version of Mathematica, 5.2, for *years*, on this
same machine, over several kernels and several Xorg upgrades, and it
was rock-solid. Not one X hang or crash. Ever. No error messages or
I/O warnings ever.

Nothing blew up ;-) I was successful removing X, downgrading, and
getting X working again with xorg-server-1.5.3 and libxcb-1.1
FYI, the working package.mask file for this operation is:
=x11-libs/libXext-1.0.5
=x11-libs/libX11-1.2
=x11-libs/libxcb-1.4

Have you tried strace'ing mathematica to see why it dies?

I ran an strace, but I can't make sense out of it. There's a bunch of
polling and trying to access unavailable resources, from what I can
see... The file is huge, but here is the tail end of it:

I don't think this attempt foolish - but I guess you're getting

Ok, emerge -e world completed successfully.
Bad news: X still crashes when scrolling in Mathematica...
On to the downgrade of xcb then, as much as I'd rather not do that.
As suggested, I would edit the world file to remove main X packages
and then use emerge --depclean to prune out the danglers.

I don't have this one, and I don't know what it is.

This is probably the gmp (GNU Multiple Precision) arithmetic library.

I don't have this one, but I'm pretty sure it is part of Intel MKL (see

Dragging it down doesn't seem to make any difference by itself and

I tried a few things today:
1) rebuilt all x11-libs, media-libs, and anything I could think of
that would be related to x11-libs (such as gtk+, qt...)
2) downgraded to xorg-server-1.5
Neither of these things helped. Alan's hypothesis sounds plausible,

Have you `emerge -e world` yet?
Stroller.

Stroller.
I have that going now. I offloaded OpenOffice to shorten the duration
of the rebuild, and I don't have KDE or Gnome - just fluxbox. So it
should finish by sometime tomorrow, probably. There are 604 packages
total. Instead of trying to rebuild

I agree, it shouldn't crash. Are you starting Mathematica by clicking on

Brandon,
Thanks very much for all this information about Mathematica - that
gives me a glimmer of hope!
1) If you haven't already, recompile your xf86* packages. Somehow I
missed those when upgrading X, which caused issues for me.
I did recompile all the xf86 packages that qlist came up with.
