Bryce, thanks for the followup.

"xdiagnose" (which, incidentally, needs to be invoked with "sudo" from the command prompt or fails silently) makes several changes to the boot-up configuration, intended to aid in letting people see more diagnostic messages when dealing with graphics problems (which otherwise leave the computer silently hung with inoperable video).

Xdiagnose itself completed its run (I had turned on all diagnostic options), and did not crash. The problems occurred with trying to boot up after having those values set.
