I've had this on one of my computers for much longer than you and
it did it for XFree86-4, Xorg-6.x and Xorg-7.x.  It can take days
or minutes to happen and it only affects X.  I can ssh in and restart
X.  Last time I looked, the X server was recieveng SIGALRMs at a
rate that used 100% CPU.

My hardware is a dual-P3 with a nvidia GeForce4 MX 440 running the
latest current.

Sorry I don't have a solution.
