With the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver, depending on the memory load at
the system, it can also crash the Xorg server.

Output from Xorg:

Fatal server error:
[   438.248] EXA: malloc failed for size 1073610756 bytes
[   438.248] 
[   438.248] (EE) 
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
         at http://wiki.x.org
 for help. 
[   438.248] (EE) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for 
additional information.
[   438.248] (EE) 

Guess Xorg/Video-ati should also protect the memory allocation to avoid
such crash in case the app/toolkit requests a huge EXA buffer.
