>Description:
The "xconsole" call in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 dumps core:

xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail

Backtrace from "gdb":

Someone else reported this same problem on freebsd-stable about a month
ago (late October 2000).  He was using "wdm" and attributed the problem
to the use of a DES-encrypted root password.  I'm using MD5 passwords,
however.

>How-To-Repeat:
Start up "xdm" in its default configuration.
