X Server & Gnome crashes and locks up whole Server.

["Anthony L. Sollars" <sollarsa starofthesea pvt k12 or us>]

Dear all,

        Has anyone ever heard of X-Windows locking up an entire server,
to the
point of having to hit the reset button. I will post a snippet of my
x-server startup log, which seems for the most part to be fairly normal.
The X-server actually starts up just fine, but after a few minutes of
activity it just freezes.  I am running this system on an Intel Platform
with RH6.0 with all the updates provided by redhat, plus I've updated X
and Gnome, as far as
Redhat as provided in their errata section. I have a core file that X
has placed in my home directory, and I have debugged to trace the source
of the lockup. I will place the debug info below:

"file core" ouput:
core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file of 'gmc' (signal 6), Intel 80386, version
1

OUPUT:
gdb /usr/bin/gmc core

This GDB was configured as "i386-redhat-linux"...(no debugging symbols
found)...
Core was generated by `gmc --sm-config-prefix /gmc-QpcC1G/
--sm-client-id 11c6ec430a000095264972700000'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
