[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend weirdness - restarts X server

We had a power failure here the other night which outlasted my UPS. Prior
to that, my combined BE/FE Myth box had been up for about two months;
during that time, I had performed a routine update to the OS. There were
no problems before. Now, since the machine came back up after the power
went down, I can't start mythfrontend - it restarts the X server every
time.
There's nothing enlightening in mythbackend.log. The only clue I can find
is in the X server log:
-- Backtrace:
0: /etc/X11/X(xf86SigHandler+0x71) [0x48f161]
1: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x2b016c437030]
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
Interestingly, if I ssh in from another box, I can start it remotely and
run most of the utilities remotely (but can't watch any recorded files,
though the thumbnails work).
I have a remote FE box upstairs running the same OS (Mandriva 2007.0
x86-64) which was also upgraded...same problem there when I try to start
the frontend. My guess is that one of the upgrades broke mythfrontend's
ability to come up. Maybe X itself....or libc6??
Here's some info on the BE/FE box:
X Window System Version 7.1.1

2.6.17.14-6mdvmmcustom-k8 #2 PREEMPT Sun Apr 15 01:33:21 PDT 2007 x86_64

Anyone else seen this and have a possible fix?
TIA
Bob
