Are you suggesting that "crash" means something in the world of X than
it does in the rest of software development? I am confused here.
Doubly confused since the problem appears to be in the kernel and not
X.org.

I've been running a vanilla kernel for two days now and have not
experienced this problem, so it seems to be something in the Ubuntu
kernel causing the problem. I have not removed Plymouth or changed the
Ubuntu system in any way other than using the 2.6.32-02063211-generic
kernel that is packaged and available from the Ubuntu Kernel Team.
