Interesting, as I can reproduce it 100% reliably with both i386 and
amd64 binaries.  I do have some extra resource settings I neglected to
mention earlier,

XClock*background:      lightgray
XClock*font:    fixed
XClock*geometry:        -0+0
XClock*padding: 1
XClock*update:  1

but only *font is at all likely to be relevant.

Sure, no problem.  I get

$ git bisect log
