Hi,

there is *definitely* a bug in NetBSD's X source tree:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/xsrc/xfree/xc/lib/GL/glx/glxext.c
(but it  will also affect the mesa's stuff...)

I have written earlier about this bug:
http://www.nabble.com/bug-in-libGL--was-Re:-pthreads,-Xlib-and-me-...-t3579561.html

Subsequently, I have looked at the current XFree's sources and was
able to confirm that they also have the code in question and that it
is definitely a bug (turns out it was reported ages ago but nobody did
stuff with it?):
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8521

Anyway,  after raising XFree86 developers attention:
http://www.mail-archive.com/devel%40xfree86.org/msg07959.html

the XFree people have fixed it now:
http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/lib/GL/glx/glxext.c

can NetBSD have the fix pulled to its xtree source as well? *please*?
I mean... what is the procedure to effectively delete 1 line of code?

Or is NetBSD current using Xorg nowdays as its main X server thingy?

Kind regards, Leon.
