I discover this problem when use Netscape.
Some time Netscape hang with 100% CPU usage.
I look on code and find that it make infinity loop
inside XlibInc.c file:
#ifdef XTHREADS
while (dpy->flags & XlibDisplayWriting) {
ConditionWait(dpy, dpy->lock->writers);
}
#endif
where ConditionWait defined in locking.h as
#define ConditionWait(d,c) if ((d)->lock) \
(*(d)->lock->condition_wait)(c, (d)->lock->mutex)
So when (d)->lock is null then program have no chance to
leave while loop.
This problem already fixed more new version of X11
(at least in 4.0.1). So there is patch:
--- XlibInt.c.orig Sat Jul 1 14:17:42 2000
+++ XlibInt.c Fri Jul 7 08:09:53 2000
@@ -605,7 +605,11 @@
}
#ifdef XTHREADS
while (dpy->flags & XlibDisplayWriting) {
- ConditionWait(dpy, dpy->lock->writers);
+ if (dpy->lock) {
+ ConditionWait(dpy, dpy->lock->writers);
+ } else {
+ _XWaitForWritable (dpy, cv);
+ }
}
#endif
size = todo = dpy->bufptr - dpy->buffer;
Thanks,
Dmitry

This bug was fixed upstream a while ago.
An inspection of the source reveals that it is certainly fixed in
XFree86 4.2.1, currently in Debian testing and unstable.
Closing this bug.
