 I pulled out the Radeon card so as to have a workable machine.
 However I set up and old box with Radeon HD 5450 and an old disk. It
 still had NetBSD 8.0 and an old home directory on it. I updated it to
 10.0.
 
 While extracting (verbosely) the debug sets, I got the "usual" crash
 with a core dump, with a segv in glamor_text() in the usual place.
 So the issue is repeatable on other hardware (it's not the same card,
 just the same model). I did use the same screen (1920 x 1200) but a
 different connector, VGA in this case. That way I can connect 3 inputs
 to it and switch.
 
 I don't know if the following are relevant but I list them anyway:
 I have a background image set with xv (graphics/xv).
 In xterm I use a bitmap font:
 xterm.vt100.font:               lucidasanstypewriter-12
 
 In ctwm I use opaque move and resize, and tabbed windows in 9 workspaces:
 OpaqueMove
 OpaqueMoveThreshold 100
 OpaqueResize
 OpaqueResizeThreshold 100
