Denis,

I reassigned this to libx11-6.  The problem isn't with the XFree86 X server
-- the bug submitter isn't even *using* the XFree86 X server.  He's using
an IRIX X server.

The problem is that the IRIX X server is sending stuff along the protocol
stream that Debian's libX11 is barfing on.

This is a bug in the IRIX X server (it's sending nonsense down the wire),
or a bug in XFree86 4.3.0's libX11 (it's not handling unexpected data
gracefully enough), or both.
