This problem most definitely is in the alpha version of XF86_SVGA.
Matti Aarnio <matti.aarnio@sonera.fi> has done a great work lately in
improving this servers. You can get his patches and precompiled binaries
from ftp://mea.tmt.tele.fi/pub/XFree86/. The patches should eventually be
merged back in the XFree86 code base.
Using a quite new XF86_SVGA binary over my debian/hamm&slink installation, I
didn't have a single "unaligned trap" nor any crashes. But it's still not
complete, i.e. you now just can't open more than 32 windows (the prcess
trying to open the 33st window just hangs -- but that's still better than
crashing :)).
