The deadlock occurs for me on one monitor.  One thing I notice just
before it usually happens is that I usually select something in an
xterm but before I paste that first crash into a Windows app, that
xterm will get more input and the selection disappears, as usually
happens.  Might that have something to do with it?  Sorry I can't
contribute more at the moment but I'm really busy with work.

BTW running Win2K and xserv 44.
