   Well x11perf -wd100 on the latest verion of XFree86 mostly works, when
   it finishes I get a floating point exception, but the server and the
   xterm keeps on ticking.

This was a bug in the original X11R5 release which is fixed in the
upcoming XFree86 1.1. Please report any further bugs you find to
Xfree86@physics.su.oz.au and we thank you for your support.
