It's the render extension. It's fixed in CVS. Or if you are running
NVIDIA's binary Linux drivers you can specify
Option "NoRenderExtension"
in the Section "Device" of the XF86Config to disable the render extension.
That only works with recent NVIDIA drivers though. It's not a general
XFree86 option.
