I'm not 100% certain, but this bug report looks a heck of a lot like bug
#506510, and I think it shares the same root cause.  The problem is that
error messages were being written to the log after the log file was
closed, which causes a segfault in the signal handling code.

I've corrected the specific error message print which causes 506510, and
am going to assume that covers this crash as well.  Because of the
signal handling logic, it hides the clues I'd need to be absolutely
certain that fix fixes this one as well.  So please test version xorg-
server 2:1.7.3.902-1ubuntu7, and if you still get a crash please reopen
this bug (or file a new bug, esp. if apport captures it, and reference
this bug report so we know the background).
