It happens every time I start X, without fail. However, it does seem that
if I just let it sit without doing anything, it takes longer to die. Also,
sometimes there isn't any error message when it dies.

This isn't a hardware problem - I moved the hard drive to a different
DS5000/120 and it does the same thing.  Is it a problem with the
installation, maybe? Does anyone else with NetBSD 1.3.2 on a DS5000/120
have this problem?
