Bug#199715: (no subject)
Subject: xdm crashes system on IA64
Package: xdm
Version: 4.1.0-16
Severity: grave
Tags: woody
I did a base install on a HP zx2000 with the addition of X11 only. Each
time xdm starts the box crashes. I did not see this issue filed in the
database. I believe this is an issue with using /dev/mem, rather then
/dev/urandom, to seed the random number generator. It appears to be
fixed in SID.
