Reproducible X-server crash; was Re: Crashing X servers

[Tim Jenkins <tim rnaworld princeton edu>]

I have a very similar problem with the X-server shutting down
unexpectedly, usually it happens several times a day.  This problem is
100% reproducible on my machine when viewing pg. 43 of the Gimp User's
Manual 1.0 with xpdf.  I have tried the bleeding edge
XFree86-SVGA-3.3.2.3-20 and the problem is still there.

My hardware configuration is 

PC164, Matrox 4mb card.

Can anyone else reproduce this X-server shutdown?  I have left the xpdf
and Gimp user's manual at ftp://rnaworld.princeton.edu/pub.

Thanks,

Tim
