Title:
  random Xorg crash

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I spent a lot of time browsing the Web and Launchpad before posting;
  actually, I did not find any fix to my issue.

  My crash appears randomly. It has been happening for months, across
  many Lucid upgrades. I updated Lucid yesterday.

  It's pretty hard to find constants to help the diagnostic. However :

  - the crash ALWAYS happen on keyboard input - and keyboard input only - after pressing the Enter key - but really not often - I can work for hours (or maybe days) before the crash happens
  - I am working a lot into xterms, many of my crashes happen into an xterm, but into Firefox as well
  - the following string seems to be doomed : many of my crashes happen when I press Enter in the xterm at its end :

  cd sancho_ed2k/sancho-0.9.4-59-linux-gtk

  this morning's crash happened in this situation.
  I must mention that I am connected in this xterm in ssh into a second desktop

  After having reentered my session, the same command in the remote ssh
  session did not trigger the crash : it looked like some filled buffer
  which cannot receive more data and crashed X ?

  - changing directory with konqueror does not (seem to) trigger the crash 
  - I am not sure at 100%, but it may seem that the crash appears more often with kdm rather than gdm - however, this morning the crash happened with gdm started

  When I have time (this evening probably) I will try to follow
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing in order to add some
  informations to this case.

  Hope a solution will be found, it is a stressful bug

  Regards
  R. Grasso
