I was a C/UNIX porting engineer for Ingres back in the day and have made minor contributions to a couple of open source projects, At minimum I am happy to run this in a debugger to track down the segmentation violation if someone would point me in the direction of how to do that. I'm very aware that the FreeBSD X11 team is thinly staffed, and greatly appreciate their efforts to engage on this mailing list. If I can help at all I will.
