I get those also.  It hasn't bothered me enough yet to look into it.

Still some X11 libs in there, so it's probably something else outside  
GRASS loading them (something in python or wx?).  Dead end.

Though I do see that the wxnviz makefile unconditionally links the X11  
libraries.  Maybe something else to move to the non-OSX EXTRA_LIBS -  
since OSX will always be using an Aqua python (I suppose it's  
theoretically possibly to compile GRASS on OSX with all X11-based  
python and wxpython) - or conditionalize on the OpenGL flag (whether  
it's aqua or X11 or Windows).


On further inspection of the crashlog, I think it's the  
_grass6_wxnviz.so that it's choking on (makes sense).  I see that  
libgrass_nviz is loaded in the binary images section, but not  
_grass6_wxnviz.so (_grass6_wxnviz.so and nviz2 are the only things  
that link libgrass_nviz).  So it was in the middle of loading it and  
got libgrass_nviz loaded, then crash.  From there I'm at a loss.
