That's a wierd one. Did you have "*PagerDontDrawBg" in ~/G/L/A/pager?
Without it, afterstep and xv might try to draw to the root window at
the same time. Though, if that causes a hang, it's arguably a bug in
the server. I let "xearth" redraw the root window every five minutes
for up to two weeks on the mac, and on the 486, and the X server never
locked up.
