			  X Window System Bug Report


VERSION:
    R4

CLIENT MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
	Sun Sparcstation 1 running sunos.4.1.1

DISPLAY TYPE:
	Sun CG3

WINDOW MANAGER:
	twm

AREA:
	server

SYNOPSIS:
	We are not sure if the problem is the xserver software or whether
	it is the Framebuffer hardware.  Occasionaly, every few days, xserver
	dies.  Typically it is during movement of the mouse from one window
	to another, but it has happened when the computer is unattended.
	Also, there is no single program that has been running that would be
	easily identifiable as the problem.  A core file is dumped when
	the server crashes, a synopsis of the core dump follows:
