It happens on Linux too. Simply, the security fix for Xorg and
Xenocara was wrong:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=461465
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354593

You could back out 006 or wait for fix for security fix.
