Over the weekend, I built world (and kernel) for the first time in
months.  Much to my chagrin, I've had X apps dying with BadLength X
errors all day.   The primary offendors are Netscape & Xemacs, which 
tend lock up after issuing errors like:

X Error of failed request:  BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
  Major opcode of failed request:  86 (X_AllocColorCells)
  Serial number of failed request:  59501
  Current serial number in output stream:  59576
  Widget hierarchy of resource: unknown

I can generally crash Netscape within a few seconds by loading a large 
page & scrolling around in it.


The reason I suspect PF_LOCAL sockets is because these problems go
away if I set my DISPLAY to machinename:0.0 rather than :0.0.
As I recall, X apps talk to a server with a display of :0.0 via
PF_LOCAL sockets.

Not that it matters, but this is on a 300Mhz PII, running XF86 3.3.2
(XF86_SVGA atop a 4MB NNidia Riva128 agp video card)
