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
