The X server still has 'unsigned long' in a few places to hold 32 bit
values. One of those is in miPutImage where it's holding the temporary
planemask for XYPixmap format images.
It computed the highest plane in the source image with 1 << (depth -
1). On 64-bit machines, taking that value and storing it in an
unsigned long promotes it to a signed 64-bit value
(0xffffffff80000000).
Then, it loops over that value, shifting one bit right each time,
waiting for it to go to zero.. That takes 64 iterations, and ends up
with some mystic planemask values *and* walking off the end of the
source image data and out into space.
A simple cast is all that is required to compute the correct initial
plane mask (0x0000000080000000), at which point the loop operates
correctly once again.
Checking the fbPutImage code, I note that this same bug was fixed
in 2006 by Aaron Plattner in commit

X Server The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into. Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders. For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Please submit bug reports to the Xorg bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg The master development code repository can be found at: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver For patch submission instructions, see: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches For more information on the git code manager, see: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/GitPage
