Bug#496889: gnome-games: sol causes(?) X-server crash and lockup

[Julian Gilbey]

Package: gnome-games
Version: 1:2.22.3-1
Severity: important

[If I were able to confirm that sol really does cause lockups, then
this would be Severity: grave]

I have had a few X server crashes recently, and following the crash,
the X server then reports that it can't restart as there is a lockup.
The only way of restarting X then seems to be to reboot the machine,
which is a little extreme.

The only common factor among all of these is that I was playing
aisleriot at the time.  I have no idea at all whether this is
causitive or coincidental, and also no clue how to test this.

Bemused,

   Julian
