Bug#304108: xserver-xfree86: Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting

["Kingsley G. Morse Jr." <change@nas.com>]

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1
Severity: normal
Tags: sid

Thanks for maintaining Debian's xserver-xfree86
package.

It's important.


X can be made to crash by doing the following:

1.) run gimp

2.) use your mouse to select

    xtns->Script-Fu->Logos->Basic 1

3.) click on "FONT"

4.) Choose Font Size (pixels) : 500

5.) Choose Font : arial

6.) Click on "OK" in the "Script-Fu Font Selection" window

7.) Click on "OK" in the "Script-Fu: Logos/Basic 1" window

8.) (kaboom)

9.) Look in /var/log/XFree86.0.log.old for

    Fatal server error:
    Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

It crashed every time I tried, even with the "nv"
driver.

Thanks,
Kingsley
