yes I get the same crash no matter what screen I try to dump, so you
might be right that it is an X issue - you know any tricks to diagnose such
errors?  X  is started like this

<avle@kongle> $ ps -ef | grep Xsun
    .... /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun    :0 -nobanner -dev /dev/fb defdepth 24 -auth /var/dt/A:0-6

and the binary linked against the following - cannot see anything funny...
