I haven't seen this. It might be good to attach strace to one and dump
the output somewhere to see what happens just before it exits.
I've been trying. But, when you get one random client disconnecting
every hour or so, it's *really* hard to get a useful capture.
Emacs has died once or twice, printing a one-line "lost connection to X
server" message.
One interesting data point: I've dropped back to a 2.6.22 kernel and
have yet to see the problem. It's only been a couple of hours of work
time, so it's too soon to say, but there might be some sort of
unix-domain socket weirdness in 2.6.23-rc. If that is true, it would
sure be nice to get a handle on it before the final comes out.
Thanks,
