I just cvsup'd to 2005.11.28.23.00.00, rebuilt and reinstalled, which 
should be just before the commit:

anholt      2005-11-28 23:13:57 UTC

and starting X still reboots my machine.  I'm reverting the kernel now 
to 8am UTC from the 28th, and if that still fails I'm going back about 7 
to 10 days.
