FWIW, I've got a similar problem, only ratpoison doesn't crash but
"hangs" -- X starts consuming 99% CPU.  If I manage to ssh to this PC
and kill X, then I can restart X and everything is working again.  And
it happens after I press RET for any command I type in the C-t : or
C-t !  prompts.

I am on up-to-date Debian unstable, tried it on desktop PC and IBM
Thinkpad R51, same thing.  Ratpoison version 1.4.2-1.  Had to revert
back to 1.4.0.dfsg-7 on Debian stable, to get my prompts back.  My
xorg is:
