My X server periodically segfaults starting a video (myth, xine, etc). 
Its not any particular video, often I run the one that triggered the 
segfault after restarting the X server and it runs fine.

The log shows

Backtrace:

Any ideas, I'm running the standard X server and modules on Ubuntu 8.04.
