X-server crash

[Jeffrey D. Watson]

Greetings !
I'm not sure what do from here.  I can't tell if the problem is in X or 
libc.so.6, I need a hint what to do next.
The kind folks in #xorg suggested I post on this mailing list.

Following the instructions from the Debug The X Server page on Wiki,
I've gather the following from gdb:

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
0xb7eab3aa in readv () from /lib/libc.so.6
