Comment 1 James Henstridge 2005-04-22 05:10:17 UTC 
It sounds like a duplicate of bug 158551 (which was an Xft bug)

Do you know if this bug is fixed in your Xft packages?
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1951

IIRC, the Xft from the Xorg releases still contains the bug, and it existed in
some standalone Xft releases.
Comment 2 James Henstridge 2005-04-22 10:01:21 UTC 
Closing as duplicate.  The differences in the stack trace are due to missing
symbols:
 1. XftFontDestroy is static, and defined next to XftFontCopy
 2. _XftReleaseFile is also static and defined next to _XftSetFace

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 158551 ***
Comment 3 James Henstridge 2005-04-22 10:26:12 UTC 
For what it's worth, I did file a bug against xorg itself about this here:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1958

It sat around for 3 months and was then closes as NOTOURBUG without actually
merging in the fix.  I guess it isn't a huge problem, given that they're
planning to modularise X, finally.
