Hello,

I finally found the culprit: it's the recent change to
xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xaa/xaaCpyArea.c (rev 1.1- >1.2).
Using /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libxaa.a built using sources from before
that commit works fine, i.e. starting firefox does not crash the X
server. Comparing the contents of old and new libxaa.a shows that only
xaaCpyArea.o differs.

Please tell what additional information I should provide to help fixing
this problem.

Where and how exactly does the Xserver crash there? The change in XAACopyArea should only allow XAA to use image uploads to off-screen locations as well instead of only to visible areas. Hmm, looking at the diffs I seem to have changed more than intended - I'll fix this right away.

have fun
Michael
