Has anyone else had the problem of X being killed by a SIGSEGV when they
switch to a virtual terminal?  It only happens when I am running 16 bit
colour; 8 bit is OK.  It doesn't usually happen immediately I switch,
but fairly soon after.  My startup is via xdm.

I am running version 3.1.2 on an AST Bravo Pentium with an on-board
CL5434 controller.  OS is from RedHat 4.0; don't know the kernel version
off hand.

TIA,
Peter
