I have a Voodoo3, running X 4.1.0-8. I don't remember seeing it in my X 3.x
days either.
Mainly I was concerned that my (video) memory was going bad or something.
Now I think it might be a bug in X. I've emailed some people who replied to
me on- and off-list to get their X and video card info - if I do think it's a
bug, I'll file a bug report.
