Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in MakeAtom()

[Timothy Matias]

My screen crashed while I was using Chromium Browser to write a blog post. First my mouse cursor froze, then after a while the screen went black. I put my netbook into suspend mode, and then after a few minutes more Ubuntu reloaded to the login screen, after Xorg crashed and reloaded itself. There seems to be some link between Chromium and Xorg for this bug, and so it's likely a display memory corruption-related error.
