Yes, it happened, I didn't make notes exact which version
of X11 it was. 4.7 was updated on 11/1/2002

It happens with both server.

It's a desktop with following hardware configuration:

        Tyan Thunder K7 (S2462) Motherboard
        ( with onboard ATI graphic chip ) not used
        Intel MultiProcessor Specification v1.4 activated
        2 G Ram
        2 x Athlon 2000+ 
        Gr. Cards tested Matrox MGA400 Max and Nvidia GeForce2 MX200
        2 IBM  SCSI HD ( each 36 G )
        Monitor Sony GDM F520

No, only a reboot.
