I was curious if this bug is on intel machines. I opened 100 xterm's
and so far no crash. I will leave the windows up all day to see if it
crashes. I assume you were using xterm's or does it make a difference
what windows you have open. I'm using fvwm2 as the window manager. I
did have this same matrox mill II card in the alpha system for a while
and never had a problem with it. That was with an AS/200. Maybe it is
an alpha only problem.

Hope this gives you a data point to work with. 

Later,

Alan
