a) I was confused by misreading a conversation on debian-x a few days ago.
Please forgive me.
b) Trying to improve my understanding of my other problem, I now installed
xserver-xorg-dbg again and attached GDB to a running X server. It caught the
SEGV, but was not able to produce any intelligible output on 'bt full'.
According to the error messages, gdb 'Failed to read a valid object file
image from memory.'
But perhaps I'm just dense, it's past midnight over here. Otherwise this
probably should be cloned into a separate bug?
Regards, David
