Um. Nope. The Bad Things were the graphics driver giving X or dt an
incorrect address for the frame buffer--leading to "random" data being
written into different locations of memory (like, say, over part of a
shared library or something). That is fixed. I'm not sure what's up
with your problem. I'll check it out tonight.
