However, switching to using the vesa driver for Xorg *has* helped; so
far there have been no crashes.

I did this by blacklisting "i915" and creating an xorg.conf, as so:

aquarius@faith:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-intel-sil.conf 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
blacklist i915

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver          "vesa"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
