Nope, still crashes (albeit less frequently).

I think it's time to migrate to Linux for a desktop (after >20 years
on FreeBSD). As a bonus, I'll get at least:

1. A friendly X user switching instead of running two Xservers from two
"startx" invocations.

2. Cyrillic filenames support in gvfs (or whatever that removable media
automounter is called).
