>Description:
The perl package/port devel/p5-Data-HexDump installs a binary,
/usr/local/bin/hexdump does not have the -e command line option, and 
thus conflicts with the X11 startx script's attempted use of the binary to create the $mcookie.
>How-To-Repeat:
On any FreeBSD release with X11*, just install Perl port devel/p5-Data-HexDump, have /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin superceed /usr/bin and /usr/sbin in $PATH. You will see the hexdump program fail since the -e option is only in the native FreeBSD binary. 
>Fix:
The X11 startx script simply needs to use the absolute path for 
'/usr/bin/hexdump -e'
from FreeBSD core, so that the two packages can co-exist.
