Hmm ... it's really looking like we should put X in the tree... I think 
I'll take this issue up with core...

Jason Downs and myself noticed that the server would occasionally dump 
core.  Dave noticed this, too.  We also noticed that running an X server

xnetmaze .. Wonder if it was related to this?
