The most frequent cause of these errors is a bug in the use/allocation of
pointers.  Basically, you are probably performing some type of operation which
is overwriting or otherwise trashing X pointers or data structures.
This error message can also be printed if something is wrong with your server
(e.g. it is major-league buggy).  But since you say nothing "major" happens,
I'd check for corrupted/overwritten X pointers or data structures first.
