Well yes its possible that my scheduler is better at hiding some bug. It wouldn't be fixing anything, of course. It definitely was better at exposing a kernel or postgresql bug when running OSDL's PostgreSQL tests - I saw the crash 3 times I think, though never with standard kernel.
I don't know how you should be reporting X crashes. I guess you could report the bug to the XFree86 guys as per their guidelines if you can reproduce the crashes with an up to date 2.4 kernel.
