Subject: New XFree86-1.2 crashes with signal 10 or 11

First of all, thanks to all the developers of XFree86 and 386BSD for
providing this software (this just has to be said).
Oh well...
So I finally got enough disk space to compile the whole XFree86-1.2 thing
myself, with all goodies in it :-) - PEX, Type1, fs,...
Soon after installing I experienced the first crash of the new server.
Since this behaviour turned out not to be a one-time occurence, I started
to be troubled. Did some debugging, but gave up due to time constraints.
But since crashing X servers are *very* annoying (all those little windows
full of work to be done just *poof*) this morning I resorted to ftp'ing
the pre-compiled X servers from agate.berkeley.edu.
So I installed the stuff from XFree86-1.2-server-codrv-fix-1.tar.Z, being
quite sure that since it must have been me who had messed up when
compiling (using gcc 2.3.3 by the way), this server would work.
But...
It just crashes with the same symptoms!
Symptoms: Servers catches signal 10 or 11 and aborts.
Hardware: 486AF 50MHz ISA motherboard
Tseng MegaVGA/1024 video adapter
1542B SCSI
(don't think you're interested in the rest)
Anyway, the old 1.1 server worked like a charm (besides being not so polished
etc.), so I am somewhat confident that it's not the hardware which is at
fault.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
