XFree86 can also load modules, so printing the name of
the process may not help if that is the case.  You can
always try:

$ nm /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/*.a | grep ldt
$ nm /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/*.so.* | grep ldt
$ nm /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/*.a | grep ldt

You can also try it on other libraries and binaries
(if they aren't stripped).
