	Thanks for the pointer to the blog.

	With hindsight, it seems that your student avoided the issue I ran into 
	by installing precompiled binaries, whereas I was using the Ports 
	collection.

	The problem was the Clang miscompilation of xorg-server, as pointed out 
	so kindly by Jung-uk Kim.

Have you, or anybody else, sent a PR on this?
I used xorg-server with clang until recently.
Now I'm on r249781. I think the problem started
after the perl updates, but I might be wrong.
Anyway, if nobody filed a PR yet, I'll do it.
