Thanks for all the info, comments below:

First, I ran X in gdb and got the following via 'bt' after X died. This is
my first experience with gdb so if I should do anything in particular,
please tell me.

I'm willing. Are there any good how-tos on doing this without killing your
system? The last time I manually upgraded libc was about 5 years ago.

I'll try this.

Nope. If anything I'd say it happens during blitting (scrolling, screen
refreshing, etc). Also, I'm not overclocking anything.
