While running Kevin Hendrix's build of OpenOffice I kept getting
Abort's for no reason. We've finally limited down to the Xrender
lib. When it's not on my system, OpenOffice runs fine, with it I get
crashes.

BTW how can I reproduce those crashes? No 'success' so far.

Kevin found a bug in the library and fixed it and OpenOffice runs fine
on his system with libXrender installed. I downloaded the latest xlibs
source from sid and checked, but his patch hasn't yet been
included.

Will it be included soon?

Err... and what does that have to do with Linux/PPC development? ;)

Perhaps I was mistaken, but I thought that the bug only existed on
PPC. Is this too X-specific and should be posted elsewhere?

At least I didn't see anything PPC specific in the fix you posted.

In particular though, you should submit this in a bug against the Debian
xlibs package for it to be included there.

AFAIK the fix has already been applied to the XFree86 CVS trunk, so it
will be in the 4.2.0 release. Don't know about the 4.1 branch.


PS: No, you can't build only libXrender.
