Since two days mozilla crashes my DRI enabled, Radeon 7500 based X on
my LX quite reliably. I use the XFree 4.3.x build (with sources from Michel
Dänzer). I
believe this to be a X issue, but before starting bug reports I'd like
to have a second opinion on what to report/look at (rebuilding X with
-g and doing a gdb backtrace does not look like a good idea to me).

P.S. I do not use mozilla on this machine very often, so this problem
     might have been there already some time, so it could also be a
     newer glibc recently installed (testing) or something similar.
     Also I upgraded some parts of the testing X part (e.g. xfs), so I
     have a mixture of XFree 4.3 and 4.2 which *might* be the problem?
