FWIW, I'm seeing the same results with a Matrox Millennium II on a Compaq
Alpha XPS1000 Workstation running -CURRENT (from about two weeks ago).

The machine doesn't reboot however, but a local freeze is apparent.  I can
login remotely and kill the X process (which sits there and chews processor
cycles) resulting in me then locally being dropped back to the console.
