This is interessting, because yesterday night I compiled the yesterdays
current xsrc (4.4.0) on my 7300 and I got the same message (map error) when I
tried to run it this morning...

compiling using src/x11 didn't worked at all. XMacPPC was build too and
worked ...

Maybe this is a issue with older macs ???? What is the real problem?
