This is more of an anecdote than anything else, since I don't have any systems running -current at the moment, but it might be helpful in tracking it down. I haven't had it crash X, but it tends to die with SIGILL when someone logs out; turning on "show offline buddies" makes it happen less often. If it's dying after sending a partial X protocol request to the server, that would probably do it; XFree86 doesn't seem to deal with that very well, in my experience. -- brandon s. allbery [os/2][linux][solaris][japh] allbery@kf8nh.apk.net system administrator [WAY too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering KF8NH carnegie mellon university ["better check the oblivious first" -ke6sls]
