Default Problem solved, should I file a bug report?

Yesterday I updated from 4.7-release to -current (aka 4.8-beta) on my spare iMac G3. X didn't work.

Xorg.0.log from 4.7 says:

(II) Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE
(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so

Xorg.0.log from 4.8-beta says:

[317562.046] (II) Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE
[317563.945] Segmentation fault at address 0x4
[317563.945]
Fatal server error:
[317563.945] Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting


Here is a simple fix:

section "ServerLayout"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

So, everything is ok.

Now, should I file a bug report? On the one hand, it seems to be merely a problem of xorg.conf, probably specific to my kind of machine. OTOH, there is a segmentation fault ocurring, which I think should not happen under any circumstances. What do you think?

Regards,
Reinhold
