After some more experimenting, I've found that it also happens even
without X! So I don't think the problem is with xorg. I'm now using an
installed version of stable and that has no crashes, so it seems to be
something about how the latest kernel interacts with my system. There
are no other linux-images around to try so perhaps I shall have to
compile a kernel myself.
