[ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 92

[Peter Colovas]

I'm running Win2k SP4. I have a problem with winclip exceptions. If I 
close down the X session when I have multiple remote terminals open, I 
almost always get an exception in xwinclip. It is still happening with 
Test92. I run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard. I get the same xwinclip 
error at home on win98, but I haven'y upgraded to this server test 
version yet.
