The cairo/pixman developers and me were wrong looking for the culprit. 
The bug was in libffi, Mark Kettenis fixed it a few hours ago.

So, forget my patch. Install "devel/libffi" and compile racket with the 
option "--enable-libffi" or use the port. Probably the internal copy of 
libffi of racket is broken.

Let me know if you have more problems. Cheers.
