It may be benign since I'm trying to kill the server anyway, but it also 
points to a memory leak or some other error which is causing the GPF. 
xwinclip also fails at other times, although I haven't been running 92 
long enough to see if it happens. It would be interesting if someone 
with access to Purify or another memory profiling tool could compile 
XWin and see what happens.
