I am using XFree86 4.2.1 on Redhat 7.3 with kernel version 2.4.22. The X server seems to be infinite looping -- top says it is utilizing 99.9% of the CPU. I suspect an X client application is involved though I don't know if it is the cause or a victim. Here's a backtrace of the X client (I'm including the loading of symbols just in case something in it is useful):

Is there anything I can do to see what the X server is doing? Does anything in the above backtrace indicate whether the X client was the cause or the victim of this problem? If additional information would be useful toward diagnosing this problem then please let me know and I will get it!
It would be useful to see a backtrace of the server. However, to generate one, you would need to login from another system.
Also, XFree86 4.2.1 is quite old, so there's a good chance this problem has been addressed in a more recent version.
Presuming I want to upgrade to the latest XFree86, currently version4.6.0, given I am using glibc 2.2.5 is there a way I can find prebuilt RPMs for that particular release? I presume that if RPMs aren't available that I'll have to build them from source myself. Thanks again for your reply.
We do not supply OS-specific packaging, electing instead to provide tarballs.
