Yuck. Sounds very nasty indeed.
This could be a kernel bug, or it could be the X server freaking out and
trashing the bus.
All I can suggest is mouting you /var parition with the "sync" flag,
reproducing this problem, and then seeing if the X server issued a death
scream of some sort to the logfile.
Otherwise I suggest you take this inquiry to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; it's a bit
beyond me.
