[5.1] Xfree86 in state 'rdnrel'??

Configuration:
. FreeBSD 5.1, GENERIC kernel; Pentium P4, Hyperthreading
. XFree86: Version 4.3.0, 27 February 2003
. graphic hardware: ATI Technologies Inc, Radeon R200 QH [Radeon 8500]
. sample of syslog output:
	drm0: <ATI Radeon QH FireGL 8x00> ...
	[drm] AGP at 0xe8000000 128MB
	[drm] Initialized radeon 1.8.0 20020828 on minor 0
	[drm] Loading R200 Microcode

My problem: top(1) shows:
	  PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
	  640 root       0    0 89188K 78936K rdnrel   5:00 84.86% 84.86% XFree86
                                              ^^^^^^        ^^^^^^

So XFree86 uses all CPU available, and the process is in state 'rdnrel'.
The process can't be killed, I have to reboot...

Is this a known problem? Do you have a fix?
