This problem is probably specific to Debian, in which case I plead
guilty for it.  I have just filed two bug reports in the Debian
database: one against gnat-gps[1] and the other against the X
server[2], since "any crash of the X server is a bug in the X server".

[2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=297985

Please followup to 297980 at bugs.debian.org and 297985 at bugs.debian.org.
