Server crash with xfce

[Edscott Wilson García]

I've managed to crash the Xserver quite a few times. Usually it happens
with a segv condition which is not trapped until it's too late. I
imagine that some memory area of the Xserver is overwritten. So your
crash might be due to something with the program you were testing.Or
maybe it's xfree4.2, which apparently has some bugs.
