So, it seems that ALLOCATE_LOCAL is responsible for at least some of the "rootless crashes" we're seeing -- specifically, all of the ones where the crash fell in any of the mi* functions. (My understanding is that ALLOCATE_LOCAL is more dangerous to use on Leopard due to virtual memory layout -- it should never be used to allocate more than about a kilobyte, and I just saw miFillPolyArc crash by trying to allocate 900k.) http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=commit;h=7caf51d1a5a86ae... -- Ben Byer CoreOS / BSD Technology Group, XDarwin maintainer
