This would be in the GLU library.  This problem was fixed a long time 
ago in the GLU library in Mesa CVS, but apparently not in the 
freedesktop/xc tree.

It looks like GLU isn't in the modular X tree anymore.  I think your 
best bet would be to probably move to the modular tree and use the GLU 
library from Mesa.
