Yeah, all of the X error messages are just generic errors that mean the
system ran out of memory.  Some other gui app was probably leaking
memory badly.  The xserver in Lucid has poor low-memory-condition
handling, so will crash in those situations, but the underlying problem
is going to be something else.

Fwiw, I put in several memory-starvation fixes into xserver subsequent
to Lucid, but they don't actually fix the problem, they just make X not
crash in these situations; your system is still out of memory and other
things will certainly fail.

Bumping out of the X queue since figuring out what's leaking will take
additional sleuth work.
