Anyone had hangs with Radeon, XF86 4.3.0, and DRI on logout?

Yes, I had them from 5.0 onwards until -p7. Not only with radeon but
also (although not so often) with mga. They don't seem to happen
anymore with the Matrox card in -p7 but I can't right now check if it's
still problematic with a Radeon (I have swapped cards in hope to
workaround that problem.) But since I also had problems with the mga
before -p7 and they don't seem to exist anymore now perhaps the problem
has gone away? (The problem manifested itself in the X server taking
100% cpu in kernel mode, and trying to kill it, or trying to reboot made
the machine freeze solid. It only happened when the X session was
terminated / X server was restarted, and occasionally in some
xscreensaver hacks, after a while, although I couldn't ascertain this
because I usually am not there when xscreensaver is running... ;)
