Could you send me privately your XF86Config-4 file? I have a G450
dual-head that I can test on. One other interesting thing might be to
check if these crashes occur at other colour depths. There have been a
couple of weird situations in the past where xforms hasn't worked at 24bit
but has at 16bit colour.

Which version of XForms are you using? Check in forms.h for FL_VERSION,
FL_REVISION and FL_FIXLEVEL. They should all be together within the first
50 lines.
