Xorg reports: BadLength (poly request too large ...

[Erich Dollansky]

Hi,

I installed FreeBSD over the weekend and updated Xorg to 7.2.

It was all working fine until this morning. I get now all the while 
error messages like this especially if I run Firefox. The error message 
caught comes from Thunderbird.

I did not see this error while Firefox was not running.

The error message:

You have mail.
/home/erich > thunderbird &
[1] 42052
/home/erich > The program 'thunderbird-bin' received an X Window System 
error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length 
erro'.
   (Details: serial 186251 error_code 16 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() 
function.)
