OK.  I'll fix those.  In the meantime, these messages can be ignored.

I need to know where the signal is occurring.  To do that, please ensure
gdb is installed on this system.  Pick it up from Sun's freeware site if
necessary.  As root, generate a core file of the crash.  Then, again as
root, do

        script /tmp/tsi.log
        gdb /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 <where.the.core.file.is>
        bt

Then, still in gdb,

        call LoaderPrintSymbol(address)

... for every "address" bt reports as "??".  Please send me /tmp/tsi.log

Thanks.

Marc.
