That's it: segmentation fault for the X server.  
Try a 2.2.6 kernel; I've no idea why that segfault happens but it's been a
persistent problem in 2.0.36 for some people. (So far, I've not been able
to even figure out anything in common among the reports on crashing X
servers. And I've not had the problem myself.)
