Hmm. This sounds familiar. I recently brought down my 3/60 to
upgrade to -current and add more memory. After it came up, the
X server would start, all of the X applications (xterm, xload,
twm, etc.) would dump core and then the server would exit.
Running ldd showed some garbage (note lines 3 & 4):
$ ldd xterm
xterm:
-lXaw.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6.0 (0x2040000)
-lXmu.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.0 (0x2070000)

So I removed the ldconfig cashe (/var/run/ld.so.hints), re-ran
ldconfig, and tried again. It still failed. I did this a few
times and it started working. Since this is my production
machine, I haven't spent any time investigating it.
Perhaps Pk has some ideas?
