Hmmm ....
Which kernel are you using ?
The only problem which I see on a 2.0.35 is that startx doesn't work as a
user (like you said above). I don't see any crashes.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
