Frozen on first X display

Frozen on first X display

[Karl Eichwalder]

Emacs on the first display is blocked after a certain period of time
when I export and use a buffer via 'ssh -X' and 'gnuclient'.

Start Emacs on 'foo'.

Eval:

    (load "gnuserv-compat")
    (gnuserv-start)

Load some file and edit.

Connect from 'bar' to 'foo' and call 'gnuclient':

    ke@bar~> ssh -X foo
    ke@foo~> gnuclient .

Edit an XML file, start Gnus, or something like that, and after some
actions Emacs on display 'foo:0' is not able to accept key strokes;
it's "frozen".  One can "unfreeze" it, issuing a certain abort command
on the second display as follows:

    M-x server-start C-g              ; Don't press RET!

Affected system: SuSE Linux 8.2 i386 using Emacs from CVS trunk
(checkout by 2003-05-19 00:15 CEST; also affected Emacs from the
beginning of May, 2003; I didn't test any other version).

It also happens that the frame on the second display will freeze.  Or
both at the same time.  I was able to catch this error message:

    Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x36476)!
