I gave some more details in one of my previous messages, but, to
summarise, I have the following running on the machine when the Xserver
gets killed with a SIGILL:
 o X
 o WindowMaker
 o 1 xterm, with a 'make' of pkgsrc/www/mozilla
 o vncviewer
 o xconsole
 o some daemons (amd is the only one that could be a factor, as I use it
   to auto-mount source trees from a server on the network)

I do get a core file for the Xserver, but I'm not sure how useful it'll
be, as I'm pretty sure that it's not the Xserver that causes the crash :(

I haven't updated to a gcc3 userland yet, so I'm still compiling with
2.95.3. I'll have another go tonight with a gcc3 compiled kernel. If the
problem still exists, I'll keep any core files etc, just in case you need
them.
