Please help. I'll check now to see if the Alpha autobuilder has gotten to X
yet; if not I'll build it on lully and make the unstripped xfs binary
available for download at the X Strike Force. gdb can be used to run xfs
and trace its execution path and hopefully track down the problem. I
suspect this isn't an upstream issue because we have done some things to our
xfs."
