This is more of an anecdote than anything else, since I don't have any
systems running -current at the moment, but it might be helpful in
tracking it down.
I haven't had it crash X, but it tends to die with SIGILL when someone
logs out; turning on "show offline buddies" makes it happen less often.
If it's dying after sending a partial X protocol request to the server,
that would probably do it; XFree86 doesn't seem to deal with that very
well, in my experience.
