No.  This is my first attempt at using it with Linux.  I don't have a
MS Windows box with which to test it either.

How would you recommend that I figure this out?

I don't (yet?) know how to start the X server properly from GDB:
startx and xinit are somewhat convoluted.  It is hard to attach gdb
after the server has started and yet before the xorg.conf has been
processed.

I could add a static variable and use it as a call counter in readFIFO
and print out its value (from GDB) when the sever has hung.  Is that
reasonable?

I have sent a copy to Rune.  I don't want to swamp the rest of you.
