Bug Description
I don't know if it really is xorg that's at fault, so this might need relocating.
My father was browsing the web in search of a new graphic card for his computer, when he clicked this link on google: http://
And Xorg crashed...
This is the link from hell! This bug can and has been reproduced EVERY TIME my father clicks on it.
Xorg crashes, then restarts with the gdm invite.
It crashes with both firefox and epiphany. I don't have time to get a backtrace right now but I will be able to do it monday. I don't really know which processes I should trace or how to launch gdm properly in gdb. It would also be nice to be able to launch epiphany in gdb, but I won't be able to do that in a gnome-terminal because it would crash along with Xorg. Maybe with a --display argument?

I forgot to mention my father runs with a dapper updated daily. (so it's the new package xserver-xorg-core 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.4 (but the bug was already there with version 10.2). My father has a nvidia card.
Guillaume Desmottes hasn't been able to reproduce this bug, and I haven't been able to test it on another machine than my father's.
