Just a suggestion, but have you tried it with an Xnest, or an Xvfb server? That way it should only crash that server and not the one you are working on.
Great suggestion. Yes, I did run a second X server and was able to crash it without loosing my session. I got as far as trying to run the X server from within gdb, but it hangs and I have to power cycle. THK
