Error upgrading xrender on Panther

[Frank J. R. Hanstick]

Hello,
	It is quite possible that the only way into the infinite loop is via  
a port failure under certain circumstances.  Problems usually arise  
when anomalies occur and not when things run as expected because not  
all anomalies can be planned for.  If not, sorry  to disappoint you.
