Comment 1 Adam Jackson 2007-01-29 23:02:07 UTC 
This appears to be a 64-bitness bug in Xephyr.  hostx.c is being built all
wrong; KeySym is defined as XID is defined as unsigned long, which would be fine
on 32 bit but not here.  As a result, the keymap fill code walks off into other
bits of .data, and smashes the cursor private index, so the next call to
pScreen->RealizeCursor() explodes.  Pretty cool!

hostx.c is special and needs to thunk between X server and Xlib types, which are
not the same sizes even though they're the same type names.  So basically you
can't ever talk about KeySyms, you just have to know that they're unsigned
32-bit ints.  So gross.  But, fixed in 1.2.0-3 and in 1.1.1-47.5.fc6, the latter
of which will be in updates shortly.

Thanks!
