xorg-server 1.2.99.0 segfaults on keypress (releated to XkbCopyKeymap stuff) (with backtrace)

[krics at linuxforum.hu]

Hello there.

I got a bug (and maybe this is already mentioned by others) with 
xorg-server 1.2.99.0 version.

There is a thread in here which Subject is 'is xkbdata needed to have 
xf86Keymap.h?'

Seems the problem is very similary to that one. But i post a new thread 
about this in here.

A little quoting from that thread:

I got similar problem on my system with xorg-server 1.2.99.0 . I 
figured out that you need a full debug enabled gdb backtrace. I made 
one :)

You can find it here: http://frugalware.org/~krix/misc/gdb_xorg.log

Just a notice for that: there is a line:
1101	xkbUtils.c: Nincs ilyen fájl vagy könyvtár.
	in xkbUtils.c

^^ Sorry it is in Hungarian :) That means: No such file or directory.

As i see you need which line and which file got segfault. GDB shows that.

(gdb) #0  0x00000000005b7da1 in XkbCopyKeymap (src=0x8de3e0, 
dst=0x8d7cd0,    sendNotifies=1) at xkbUtils.c:1101

Or dunno :)

btw i forgot about the main problem. Whats happens which cause 
segfaults. So simple. Just starting X (with X binary itself) and 
pressing any of keys. (mouse ok) If i press one key (nevermind which) 
then Xorg got segfault and drops this backtrace for me.

I hope this will be usefull and you can try to figure out whats broken 
or what not :)

Questions are welcome, i can do other tests/debugs, i got X debug 
version on now. :)
