Playing with my 712/60 I discovered the following behaviour:
The X server fills the upper part of the framebuffer (first few lines, 
don't know exactly how many) with white color. This could be the memory in 
the first page (8k ?) of framebuffer region. Then the machine will hang, 
but the console is still responsive. Typing displays characters and the 
screen scrolls if enter is pressed and the cursor is at the bottom of the 
screen.

Is this the bug you mentioned?
