	I don't have any NCD terms here, but what you describe seems like
an X server problem to me... Working for an X server company - I'm quite
familiar with that phenomenon ;-)  NAS doesn't use the Xserver for
anything so I don't see how NAS could cause it - unless the builtin NAS 
server in the xterm is having a problem that crashes the whole machine...

	This may be a stupid question, but can you run realplayer without
any sound at all? no NAS, libaudiooss, etc?
