I experienced the same problems under pixman 0.9.5, and found that they are fixed in 0.9.6. FreeBSD has since updated the related port to match the new version.
In my case, evince and swfdec were causing the crashing pretty reliably. I originally attributed the problem to swfdec, but after some GDBing, I found that it was happening in pixman. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=117854 -- Coleman Kane Hi there, I've checked what I'm using and it is: pkg_info | grep pixman pixman-0.9.6 Low-level pixel manipulation library So I'm already using this version while experiencing those problems. I'm so glad I removed everything because now my workstation is stable again and that's a huge relief for me. Brgds Dino --------------------------------- Be a better pen pal.
