Situation gets even worse - after clean reinstall Ubuntu server 8.10 and Xvfb from actual repos I've got Xvfb process hanged with 95% CPU load and no success with killing it:

ais77@sev77u:~$ top
  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
10190 root 20 0 22748 18m 15m R 94.4 3.7 63:56.40 Xvfb

ais77@sev77u:~$ ps -C Xvfb
  PID TTY TIME CMD

ais77@sev77u:~$ sudo killall Xvfb
ais77@sev77u:~$ ps -C Xvfb

ais77@sev77u:~$ sudo killall Xvfb
ais77@sev77u:~$ ps -C Xvfb
  PID TTY TIME CMD
10190 ? 00:06:17 Xvfb
ais77@sev77u:~$ sudo killall -v -w Xvfb
Killed Xvfb(10190) with signal 15

and killall hangs sinding SIGTERM too...
Any idea how to kill it?

On clean installed (as mentioned) system there is no /var/log/Xorg.0.log, neither /var/log/Xorg.0.log files at all.
