*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 73955 *** Thanks for your report. This is also bug 73955, since fixed (well, worked around, anyway). As you observe, switching away from X and back is a workaround. Oh, and sorry for my hasty first reponse - we get so many "installer crashed" bugs with no log files attached that requesting the logfiles has become almost an automatic action :-)
