The kernel is 38.1. This has been happening somewhat frequently but not
really predictably. It's happened when using Mathematica, wine, and
LibreOffice. I don't really know if there's any connection there or
it's
just a coincidence.

What other information would be helpful?

Can you get a full backtrace using gdb?

Alex


I know how to attach gdb to Xorg. But I don't know how to get the bt once
the computer has crashed.


Type 'bt full'  when gdb catches the segfault.

Do I need to recompile with -g?


Yes, you'll need to install the debugging symbols (if you are using
distro pacakges) or rebuild without stripping them.

Alex


So, I don't mean for this to be a lesson in gdb. I was able to build Xorg with debugging symbols easily. When I start gdb and run 'continue' before Xorg crashes, nothing happens. It doesn't even bring me back to a (gdb) prompt. When I try to exit out of gdb, then Xorg crashes. I was expecting a (gdb) prompt after continue where I can wait for the segfault and run "bt full".
