Nathan, what X server are you using?  (how did you build it?)
After seeing reboots caused by the XFree86-4 server, I've tried
to build xorg server using the ports but failed: `make install`
in /usr/ports/x11/xorg ended by saying
  ===>  xorg-server-1.4_3,1 does not run on ia64 alpha, while you are running alpha.

Yours,
Kazuyoshi
