This looks fine.

Alright.
If you have another machine and can connect from it with ssh to the
machine running X, then:
$ ssh foobar
$ sudo gdb /usr/bin/Xorg $(pidof X)
(gdb) c

Then try to reproduce the crash, and at some point you should get:
"Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault."

And inside gdb, type "bt full", and send the output to this bug.

Cheers,
