Exact same thing on my previously rock solid x86 box - only change was that
I'd just upgraded to XFree86 4.0.1 and kernel 2.2.16, from XFree86 3.3.6 and
kernel 2.2.13.
The behavior is identical - makes me wonder if this was the mmap() bug
that BenH previously mentioned, and if this was a cross-platform issue
not just isolated to PPC?
