This is exactly the same problem I have on RedHat 4.2/Sparc on an SS20 (150MHz HyperSparc, X11R6.1-Sun-pl1-23, dual cg6). I don't know if it's a fault in the X server, some HyperSparc specific problem or something else. It seems to be related to shared memory. gimp --no-shm --no-x-shm solves the problem for me (at least in Gimp; other programs have the same problem). I'm running very close to my limit of physical memory. There's plenty of swap free, though. Note that I get this image corruption in Gimp as soon as it starts. It's not related to script-fu->logos-alien. I had been hoping that when I finally get round to upgrading to UltraPenguin the problem would vanish. From this bug report, apparently not. Any ideas welcome.
