What I meant was that version 4.2.0 contains several corrections for bugs
which existed in 4.1.0.

I did notice that there are a couple of post-4.2.0 patches described at
http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/ERRATA.html .  Only the zlib one has security
implications, and it should not have them for us, because XFree86 links to
the system's zlib on FreeBSD.  We should be golden now. :-)
