Right.  I'm running 3.3.3.1 (installed from the FreeBSD packages mirror
at ftp.demon.net).  

I just checked FreeBSD.cf.  It includes;

    #ifndef UseGnuMalloc
    /* 2.2 doesn't really have GnuMalloc */
    #if OSMajorVersion < 2 || (OSMajorVersion == 2 && OSMinorVersion < 2)
    #define UseGnuMalloc            NO
    #else
    #define UseGnuMalloc            YES
    #endif
    #endif

I changed this to unilaterally set UseGnuMalloc to "NO".  And stuff
now works.  So thanks everyone for the pointers.

I'll mention this to XFree86 folks, and see if I can get it changed.
