(--) PCI:*(0 at 1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc RV610 video device [Radeon HD 2400 PRO] rev 0, Mem @ 0xd0000000/268435456, 0xfdee0000/65536, I/O @ 0x0000de00/256, BIOS @ 0x????????/65536

>Description:
	Xorg with ati or radeonhd driver core-dumps on exit due to
	use-after-free error (caused by freeing the root window
	structure too early) if MALLOC_OPTIONS=J.

	Backtrace of failure is:
#9  <signal handler called>
#10 DeliverPropertyEvent (pWin=0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a, value=0x7fffffffe990) at rrproperty.c:34

#16 0x000000000042c423 in main (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffeb58, envp=Variable "envp" is not available.

	Backtrace from offending free() call is:

) at main.c:453
(gdb) p *WindowTable 
$23 = 0x802911000

>How-To-Repeat:
	Enable malloc(3) debugging (default in -current) and start and
	stop X normally.

>Fix:
	The following patch prevents the root window structure being
	freed.  I suspect it is a hack but it works for me.
