I'd really appreciate some feedback on the new fix in
XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-63, which should be hitting mirrors within a few hours.
Yes, I can reproduce the hang with 4.3.0-50 (actually, I used xemacs not xterm)
but it does not hang in 4.3.0-63. After I drop the X selection it is no longer
in the Windows clipboard, so that I cannot paste into Notepad.
