What you're experiencing here sounds like the server crashing and restarting.
Server crashes are bad and shouldn't happen no matter what weird things people
try. I must say however, this does seem a litte unusual. You're asking the
server to use a Sun Open Look Cursor Font as a text font. Interesting. If you
feel strongly about this you could certainly file an SPR.
No, I don't believe it was in the release notes and I doubt that anyone has
a fix for it.
