GDB backtrace

GDB backtrace log is attached.

Xorg 1.9.2.901
gtk+ 2.20.1

Gentoo linux ~amd64 current.

I was able to trace problem to
pointers.c:389
        XFreeFeedbackList (states);

But I'm at loss, what can I do with it. Commenting this line out solves segfault on start, but obviously creates a memory leak.

Hoping for a timely fix.
Thanks.
