IMO, if an application can hang X server, it's definitely X Server's bug. ;)
I'm currently running G-Force. And it _works_. And it's very CPU-hungry ;)
No problems noticed so far.

This could be a hardware problem... Are you sure it's not a HW? If so,
please tell what X Server are you running? What drivers are installed?

Here's my info:
[vitalyb@vb vitalyb]$ X -version

XFree86 Version 4.4.0 (XFree86 release: 4.4.0-vb1)
Release Date: 29 February 2004
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.6 i686 [ELF] 
Current Operating System: Linux vb.localdomain 2.6.8.1 #1 Mon Aug 16 15:49:28 EEST 2004 i686
Build Date: 12 May 2004
Changelog Date: 29 February 2004

It's an original XFree86 with a small patch to stop it switch monitor
from DPMS saving mode when mouse gets moved.

[vitalyb@vb vitalyb]$ glxinfo 
...
OpenGL version string: 1.5.1 NVIDIA 61.06
...

I know, NVidia 6111 drivers are avaible. Soon after 6106 release ;)
Bugfixes.... Anyway it works fine for me.

AFAIU, G-Force is an interpreter. Am I right, Dennis? It should be
pretty hard to do something that will break X Server just with
this and that Delta Field. IMO.
