Interesting issue with facebook causes X to abort

[gaf-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org (Jerry Feldman)]

At work, I have an IA64 workstation running Red Hat Enterprise 5.2.
Since Firefox does not run on IA64, I start firefox as:
ssh <server> /opt/firefox.3.6.6/firefox

Most of the time, firefox works fine, but when I try to log into
facebook my screen goes into a crosshatch pattern and eventually X is
restarted. This only happens on facebook, and just about the only time I
log in on that system is when someone comments on my status. This does
not happen on my home system (Fedora 13/Firefox 3.6.4). It's just a bit
annoying.
