The VT switch may be a red herring - when the screen goes black I have a
habit of hitting Ctrl-Alt-Fn to try to switch to a text terminal. It
doesn't work when I've triggered this bug, and X is still crashed if I
don't do it. My system is not configured to do anything when I hit a
screen edge (apart from change the mouse cursor shape, since the window
titlebar is right at the top of the screen).

I'll see what I can do with the beta, but it's a bit awkward, as I have
my fingers trained to avoid bumping the top or bottom of the screen and
in any case the bug is intermittent, so I go weeks without triggering
it. Once 8.10 is released I'll probably upgrade to it (hopefully it
won't be as big a disaster as upgrading to 8.04).
