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
