We have a few of these reports. I have no idea what is causing them.
Any X
experts have any idea?
I have no idea offhand, but I've seen this under AIX 4.3.3 so it's probably
not a system or compiler issue.

Out of curiosity, does anybody know what visual/depth Raymond Toy was
running at? I'm suspecting some sort of screw-up relating to a full colormap,
which "should only happen" on an 8-bit display, or if you've been blessed
with
one of IBM's GXT255 cards, which does 24-bit with a subtly brokked colormap.
For what it's worth, -b37 or so seemed to hang on *every single* attempt to
open a gnuclient window, -b39 only did it once so far that I can remember.
