Just because Pd triggers an X crash does it mean that Pd is the cause  
of it.  A similar example is when people complain that Pd blue screens  
their windows box, as I have seen before.  That's generally because  
some of the PC audio hardware and Windows drivers are so atrocious  
that actually using them beyond playing back youtube videos causes  
BSODs.

In other words, the cause of your X crash likely lies elsewhere.
