With the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver, depending on the memory load at the system, it can also crash the Xorg server.
Output from Xorg:
Fatal server error:
[ 438.248] EXA: malloc failed for size 1073610756 bytes

Guess Xorg/Video-ati should also protect the memory allocation to avoid such crash in case the app/toolkit requests a huge EXA buffer.
