Hello!

Please, have a look at a small thread:
"http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2008-May/085584.html"
"http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2008-May/085598.html"
"http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2008-May/085602.html"

In my case the problem was in some old binaries not being swept out
after I have tried John Birrel's dtrace enabled snapshot in february.
Check you system (for examlpe "ll /usr/sbin/dtrace" and etc.).

If your system is really up-to-date and the problem is caused by the
very recent dtrace import, then try the following patch to the
x11-servers/xorg-server/Makefile.
