Dude,

	Give me credit for having a few adjacent neurons still firing. When I 
try to run the kernel config thing on my G5 running YDL 6 and display 
(as in X window system network display) on a laptop of the x86 variety 
it will crash with the original libcairo. So this is a YDL powerpc 
issue. The fix I posted uses the ppc byte reverse instruction and is 
smaller AND faster (well ... assuming it works. I didn't test it that 
thouroughly! And since this is a powerpc issue I didn't test the x86 
parts at all!! Don't even know if they'll compile!!!).

	Question still remains: is the libcairo shipped with YDL 6 compiled 
debug (-g)? If so, why?
