Hi Dennis!

My collegue has the same stuff you have. It works fine until trying to
logout. Then the machine hangs completely, requiring a reset. I can kill
X from another console OK, but not logout from X. Seems to be xdm
related, but Iäm not sure.

Happens with both 3.3.1 and 3.3.2.  FreeBSD stable 2.2.6.
