X shouldn't restart, even with a buggy-as-hell application. Probably
your driver is behaving incorrectly, and/or mesa.

Run X inside gdb (I seem to recall there was a HowToGetAnXBacktrace or
so on wiki.debian.org), and get a backtrace. You probably want to
install libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg. Note that if you're using an intel video
card, there are several bug reported against libgl1-mesa-dri already.

In all cases, reporting the X driver you're using, and your video card
would be a plus.

Cheers,
