What happens is some X client causes X server to crash. Although it is 
definitly a server-side bug - X server must not crash whatever clietns 
do - it would be helpful to know which particular client triggers that.
Could you please start X as above, then set DISPLAY and run commands from 
your xsession one-by-one?
