RE: Test 23 crashes - "negative sized edge?"

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

John,

Huh... Test23 was the first test build to come directly from XFree86's CVS
tree, whereas all previous builds were from a tarball of the 4.0.3 sources.
I'm going to have to think that the error you are seeing is a bug that was
introduced somewhere between 4.0.3 and now.  In any case, I don't think it
is anything that we did, nor would we know how to fix it.

Thanks for reporting the bug nonetheless,

Harold
