I'm working on a 2.2.1 release now to address these types of problems.  The 
only Xv related change I can think of was to avoid crashes on some machines 
where if you used Xv and exited the server you'd get a crash; I can't think 
of anything else that would cause the problem you're seeing.  Is there a bug 
filed?
