If you have an Xsun.core in the / directory, you can (as root):
gdb /usr/X11R6/bin/Xsun /Xsun.core
Which should include the line
'Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.'
If it was compiled with -g then 'bt' would show the function and
line at which it died. If I can cobble together the spare space I
might just compile a new server with -g :)
