It's quite old #328531.

Then it's probably something Firefox4 does that crashes the X server.

Those two backtraces have both X (mieqEnqueue+0x1ae) [0x4a6fde] on the
top and obviously correspond to the two messages

[  1820.462][  2104.059] [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

which is a diagnostic unrelated to the

Fatal server error:
[  8808.414] EXA: malloc failed for size 1866240000 bytes
