yeah, as SuSE feedback said, build 84 was broken, the new, 4.1.0-85 is up in ftp.

I just suffered a major X crash with 4.1.0-85. Running k_deflt-2.4.16-5 from mantel/next/RPM, kde 2.2.2/qt 2.3.2 (latest packages from ftp.gwdg.de) on suse 7.3. I was running kmail, konqueror and xmms at the time. Just when a song had ended (No Doubt - Just a girl, if that's relevant :) everything froze except the mouse cursor. I was able to ssh in from my server, and top showed the X process at 99.5-99.8%cpu and 16%memory. strace -p<X process> showed an endless loop of SIGALRM (Mask is now []) sigreturn(). When I killed the X process, which usually works when this happens, the whole machine died, and wouldn't even respond to ping, forcing a reboot.
