	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 :)
