Description 
After applying the latest Recommended/Security patches on Solaris 8 or
9 or 10, the fontserver (xfs) is no longer working.  ld.so.1 complains
about a fatal relocation error coming from libfont.so.1: symbol Xcalloc:
referenced symbol not found, and the process gets killed.

(Visible e.g. when one attaches truss with suitable options including
-aef -wall to the inetd process and then runs an
  fslsfonts -server localhost:7100
from another shell.)
Work Around 
Back out latest X11/Xsun patch to a revision before the fix for
CR#6465805 - but this loses this security fix.
