Dear Brice,
On my home Ubuntu machine I see:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -l xorg
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed

ii xorg 7.1.1ubuntu6.2 X.Org X Window
System
(which I guess is recent enough), and:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ p=`ps -fC Xorg`; time perl -e '$|=1; foreach $x (1..500) {
print "x" foreach(1..$x); print " $x\n" }'; echo "$p"; ps -fC Xorg
...

whereas un-flushed I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ p=`ps -fC Xorg`; time perl -e 'foreach $x (1..500) { print
"x" foreach(1..$x); print " $x\n" }'; echo "$p"; ps -fC Xorg
...

so I guess Xorg is buggy also. (This is with the ATI driver. I now cannot
imagine how bad it would have been with VESA.)
Regardless of Xorg, please do not close this bug: Debian (stable) has
XFree86 only, not Xorg.
Thanks,
