Well, I'm sure it's not a question, so I'm following up to -hackers.
I've seen this on my machines several times in the last few days,
since upgrading to a new version of -current. I don't know if it's
the same problem, but I do know that it's happening frequently on
different machines, when it didn't do before, so I'd call it a bug.
Since it appears to be happening both on -current (my machines) and
2.2.5-RELEASE (Archie's machine), I'm copying -hackers in the hope of
getting most people without spamming them. OK?

1. freebie.lemis.com: Running Accelerated-X 1.4 with ATI Mach 64 and
Matrox Millenium I 4 MB. The X server configuration hasn't
changed in 8 months.
2. papillon.lemis.com: Running XFree86 3.3.2 on a C&T 65545.
I think you'll agree that these environments are sufficiently
different to point away from the server. In each case, I've had
lockups when changing VTs.
I know this isn't enough to identify a bug, but it should be a "heads
up" that something might be wrong.
