** Summary changed:

- System bell (I think) crashes X
+ System bell crashes X in ProcBell

** Description changed:

  All of a sudden, after working fine all day (and in fact, all month) my
  install of Hardy has an odd bug concerning what I think must be the
  system bell:
  
  Whenever I press tab in a terminal (I have tried in gnome-terminal and
  xterm) my X server restarts! It also restarts if I press delete and
  there is no text left to delete in the terminal. The only thing that
  happens in both those situations is the beep, so I disabled the bell in
  /etc/inputrc and that has stopped the crashing.
  
  I don't know what suddenly caused this issue, but it was working
  perfectly and then suddenly started to have this problem. A bug fix
  would be great because this is pretty serious but if someone could offer
  a short term fix I would appreciate it too.
  
  Thanks
