X server log

After upgrading from 2:1.18.4-2 to 2:1.19.0-2 (Debian package versions), the X.org server has started to crash when switching virtual desktops - three times so far, in a space of 96 hours. Not all virtual desktop switches make the server crash, but all crashes have occurred as a result of switching virtual desktops.

These are the last lines in the log file (attached):

Does this still happen with xserver-xorg-core 2:1.19.0-3 or newer?

It has not occurred anymore since I upgraded, therefore I'm closing this issue.
