Xorg Crashing - Since Update

Hello,

I've searched google and site:freebsd.org for this issue,
and I see nothing like it, nor on the mailing lists. I hope
this is the correct place to post, if not please let me
know where it would be more welcome.

FreeBSD Version: FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE FreeBSD
6.0-STABLE #0: Sat Jan 28 18:35:36 EST 2006 

Problems with: xorg-6.9.0 & Opera 8.51 for FreeBSD

Problem I'm having is Xorg crashes when using Opera - this
seems to have only started since I updated ports on
2006.01.23.0611. (I can provide the full port update log if
needed).

Clicking on a single Opera button, or a hyperlink in
the browser crashes Xorg (without warning) and takes the
system straight to user console mode.  This is a random
occurence, and seems to follow no pattern.  I can use Opera
for many hours or just a few minutes, this behavior is
unexpected.  It's happened 5 times thus far.  I can find no
way to intentionally reproduce the crash.

The only pertinent info I see relating to this problem is on
the console when X crashes (as follows):

   *** be the reason for the server aborting.

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting


Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
         at http://wiki.X.Org
 for help.
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for
additional informati on.

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown). /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit:  connection to X server
lost. opera: Fatal IO error: client killed
Failed to load groupfile:
XIO:  fatal IO error 2 (No such file or directory) on X

(Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0" Gdk-ERROR **:
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or
server shutdown). $

I do not see anything unusual in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log -
then again, I'm not sure what I should be looking for.

I've tried monitoring top while Xorg and Opera are running,
It doesn't seem like a memory leak with opera. The only
thing suspicious is when scrolling in Opera the Xorg entry
in top goes from RUN to *giant then back to system - mozilla
doesn't seem to follow this behavior (I've only tested
mozilla for a short period).  Scrolling does not, however,
crash X - only clicking within the Opera browser makes this
happen (again, there is no pattern to follow and repeating
the same click on the same link will not reproduce it).

Any help would be appreciated since I use this server in a
production related evironment.

Thanks,
Rob
