Exactly the same happens to me as well - all the time - with a frequency
of roughly one crash per hour. And, it is not firefox to blame. Often,
stumpwm "freezes" with just one urxvt window running.

I've been logging the stumpwm output for sometime now (with the
*debug-level* set to 10), and I haven't been able to notice any pattern
to figure out what is going wrong.

My guess is that it is something to do with the modeline. But all I have
setup to show on the modeline is a list of groups, and a time display.

Just for the record, I run Gentoo, with X11 1.3, dual-headed on an intel
chipset. I have no other desktop managers or anything. I use SBCL
1.0.14.
