libXrender bug crashes OpenOffice

[jason@openinformatics.com (Jason E. Stewart)]

Hey All,

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.

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?

Thanks,
jas.
