I had the same thing happening -- system just wedges solid.  This is with
an egcs-built system.  After I rebuilt the system (but not X) with gcc, I
haven't had a wedge since.  My hardware:

  TX-Pro MB with 233MHz K6
  Genoa Phantom with S3/VirgeDX  res: 1024x768 @ 16bit

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
