It seems like the bug has been present in XFree86 all the time.  But
some thing has changed in CURRENT that tickles this bug.

I started to experience this after I removed all ports and recompiled
XFree86 with the new GCC 3.2.1.

X also dies with signal 11 some times, so theres more to it than the
Bezier bug.

But if it is a CURRENT kernel or compiler issue, I don't understand why
/ how this should affect -STABLE / -RELEASE.

I'll take a backup of my current X installation and do some tests and
comparisons against the Aug 24 port build of XFree86.

I'll have to find a sure way to reproduce the abort() and / or SIGSEGV
failure first though.
