I built a kernel on Monday and suffered from the ``crashing X''
phenomenon.  Only for me, it was worse than others have reported
because it didn't actually crash the system, only the server.  Since I
use xdm, that got me into an infinite loop which I could not easily
break out of since the server was constantly being restarted and
switching VTs.  I haven't tried to build another kernel since then, as
I've seen no evidence that anyone has actually figured out the real
problem.
