Ugh, well I can crash 5.8.0-rc6-01515-gae09163ac27c and 5.8.18 in
basically the same way running glxgears and a xset dpms force off
loop.  So I'm starting to think it's not the same thing, and that
problem has been latent from before I started having periodic issues.

I should note that my exact testing technique for the above was to run
4 copies of glxgears and the xset force dpms off loop at the same
time.  Really looks more like it triggers a resource starvation issue
maybe.  The crash is also worse, particularly if I don't do anything
about it right away as my workstation eventually falls off the network
and I'm forced to power cycle it; the crashes I was chasing after
wouldn't do quite that much violence, normally I could still log in,
rebuild a kernel, and shut things down cleanly.

More than one bug here I suspect.
