This post (never developed a thread):

  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2017/07/05/msg025172.html

The console and Xorg.0.log output shown is the same as I observed.

The 'ktruss' output shows just what I expected.  It's the same as
reported in the previously-cited PR:

[...]
   136      1 Xorg     open("/usr/pkg/lib/libGL.so.1", 0, 0xb4192cf7) = 9
   136      1 Xorg     __fstat50(0x9, 0xbfb786f0)  = 0
   136      1 Xorg     mmap(0, 0x1000, 0x1, 0x1, 0x9, 0, 0, 0) = 0xb418e000
   136      1 Xorg     munmap(0xb418e000, 0x1000)  = 0
   136      1 Xorg     mmap(0, 0x67000, 0x5, 0x2, 0x9, 0, 0, 0) = 0xb4128000
   136      1 Xorg     mmap(0xb4181000, 0xe000, 0x7, 0x12, 0x9, 0, 0x58000, 0) Err#13 EACCES
   136      1 Xorg     munmap(0xb4128000, 0x67000) = 0


The workaround in the PR was 'paxctl +m /path/to/uic'.

Doing the same to 'mplayer' resulted in the same behavior shown in
the previously-cited thread in port-i386@.  That is, instead of 'mplayer'
being stuck in 'fdclose', it would segfault.

Once I reboot again, I'll see what happens when doing this to the
modular/pkgsrc Xorg server.
