Thanks for the answer. You are right, it could be caused by the usage of a
specific library combination. This might trigger this "crash/corruption bug
resulting from an incorrect offset in RootlessGlyphs", which got fixed in XOrg
2.6.2 as stated in
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.6.2
For the time beeing I will stay with XOrg 2.6.3 hoping that there are no
bothering side effects.

Norbert
