Comment:
Root cause is related to wrong Solaris process contract. When any
child process of X gets a SEGV signal, the SMF restarter ends up
getting that (due to same level of process contract as GDM) and
therefore sends GDM a SIGKILL. That ends up kicking the user out
of X just because a user program crashes with SEGV.
Solution is to change Xsession such that it execs child processes
with a new child process contract under that of GDM's. With this,
any program emitting SEGV no longer causes GDM/X11 to quit.
