Can you print out the error string (error parameter to  
x_error_handler)?  77 is just XDrawImageString16 which is in the  
second backtrace as expected.  But it can generate different errors.   
I think it is a BadMatch, which usually indicates bad input to  
XDrawImageString16.  You should be able to walk up to the stack frame  
that calls XDrawImageString16 and examine the input.
