over the screen.  It's not just X - the other shared libs all do this. 
The solution is to recompile those libraries.  Now, as I don't have
enough disc space to do such a thing, I was asking, if someone had
already done it, to let me know where those shared libraries are.  The
ones I have are from the beginning of December, and still have some
internal dependencies on the old ctype array in libc - which is why my
X clients coredump when I run them.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this.

Please let me know when it's done, and I'll put it in the snapshot report.
