FreeBSD and Xorg: session ending ends up in locked up Xorg server

Hello,
I have a strange problem on one of my FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE boxes.
The machine is a FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE/AMD64 box, most recently built-world.
Whenever I logout from a local X11 session (using Xorg, most recent, and
Windowmaker, also most recent, all X stuff recently rebuilt), Xorg eats
up 100% CPU time and I never get back to the login box offered by xdm
(xdm is driven by /etc/ttys as recommended). Instead I see a weird
unresponsive screen with blinking, weird coloured block-graphics and
letters, in most cases the same pattern, but this changes. Logging in
from another box and killing Xorg gives back the expected login box from
xdm.
I have no glue what's going on here. My graphics board is a nVidia
driven GF8600GTS and it worked well a couple of weeks ago. I rebuild the
whole X stuff incl. all the dependencies because I thought it could have
something to do with miscompiled or outdated ports - but thta isn't
obviously the fact.
Does anyone see this on his box also?
Regards,
Oliver
