An answer, but I hope there's a better long-term solution.  Possibly, 
you've acquired an unstable version of something in a recent upgrade 
(most likely via dependencies.)  Maybe you can catch the culprit by 
running a perl daemon built with SGI::FAM and dumping a ps listing to a 
log.  (Though I make no guarantees about that guess.)

On a mildly related note and just for the sake of useful archives, I'll 
mention that I recently broke my X in a completely different way.  KDM 
wouldn't start on reboot because I had recently reformatted my /tmp/ 
partition and forgotten to set it as world-writable!
