sounds innocent ... but some shells try to change the terminal's title to reflect PWD - using control sequences. See $PS1 which e.g. calls the function ppwd() here.
Do you mean a custom $PS1? I have such, but it has never caused any such crash before.
My PS1 is '$(ppwd \l)\u@\h:\w> ' which will do something like this: printf "\e]2;user@host:/some/where\007\e]1;host\007" > /dev/pts/1 Please note that PS1 on that 2x-remote host could be something different than on your PC. Depending on the shell on that host, does X still crash when you set PS1 to something static like '$ '?
... in the X server's logfile?
Pity how that one gets overwritten on startx...
