multiwindow + XDMCP + X0.hosts == crash

This is with Cygwin 1.3.22, XFree86-base 4.2.0-1, and XFree86-xserv
4.2.0-42. The crash occurs both with Windows 2000 and XP.
I downloaded Cygwin+XFree86 yesterday, and I am able to crash XWin.exe
routinely. To reproduce on a fresh Cygwin+XFree86 installation, do:
echo localhost > /etc/X0.hosts
XWin -multiwindow -query <remotehost>
...where <remotehost> is a machine running an XDMCP server.
Things appear to work at first. But within a few seconds, XWin.exe
crashes with an access violation. This does not happen if I remove
/etc/X0.hosts.
(Are you wondering why I want to do this? I want to run xwinclip,
which must run locally, but I also want to use XDMCP to connect to
remote machines. When I start XWin with the -query, -indirect, or
-broadcast options, it does not permit localhost to connect.)
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I would be glad to
provide any additional information needed to reproduce and/or debug
this problem.
Thank you!
