X11-2.2.1.pkg makes iMac unbootable

Description

Yesterday I installed the new X11-2.2.1.pkg, after which I found my early 2006 iMac to be unbootable. Thank the gods for Time Machine. I have looked around a bit and found no reports of this version of X11 being a "bad thing." Anyone here have trouble with that version? Sorry, but I have no logs to check, because Time machine doesn't back these up.

The symptom I got upon rebooting was alternating screens of slightly different shades of blue, one of which contained that little spinner thingy. Seemingly, something was trying repeatedly to run and repeatedly crashing.

Uhm... there's really nothing about X11 which could possibly do that. Can you please reinstall it and try again.
