The ltrace output in /tmp/Xorg.out has 176 calls to memmove(), all
with five arguments, like this example:
memmove(0xa352c50, 0xa3535e0, 1648, 0x806892f, 0x40001c)
Can anyone shed some light on what is going on here? The first three
arguments appear to be the usual three memmove() arguments: dest, src,
and count. The extra two aren't documented anywhere I can find, and
memmove() has always been a three-argument function.
It looks to me as though ltrace just doesn't "know" how many arguments
memmove() takes, and this can be fixed with a quick change to
/etc/ltrace.conf. I went ahead and opened bug #658311 about it.
