Sure, but that just hides the problem.  I want to know why 21.5 is
blowing the X server out of the water instead of nicely producing a
warning like 21.4 does.  Of course, this indicates a serious X server
bug.  It shouldn't be possible for an X client to kill the server.  But
if I can understand what 21.5 is doing differently, it may lead to a bug
report that gets some actual action taken on it.  My current report is
being ignored, probably because the RedHat people can't duplicate the
problem.
