Emacs (and xterm) crashing

[Robert Folland]

Hi,

I have the same problem that was reported by Zdzislaw Meglicki in June
and July: emacs sometimes just crashes. I get the message:

"X protocol error: BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this
connection) on protocol request 1"

Mostly this happens when I try to start dired on a directory. This
happens both on my machine at work (Windows XP) and my machine at home
(Windows 2000). I installed cygwin on my home machine yesterday for
the first time in this installation of Windows, and I'm getting the
same crashes as I get at work.

Actually this also happens when I click on an xterm window to get
focus sometimes.

Any clues? Do others also experience this?

-Robert
