Test 23 crashes - "negative sized edge?"

["John A. Turner" <john dot turner at pobox dot com>]

Summary
-------

when displaying XEmacs from Irix, although 4.0.3 and Test 22 work
fine, Test 23 crashes with the msg:

Fatal server error:
negative sized edge?
Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to 127.0.0.1:0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to 127.0.0.1:0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Details
-------

Environment is:

Win2k, SP1
Cygwin 1.3.1
XFree86 4.0.3, Test 22, and Test 23

startup script:

@echo off

SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET PATH=.;%PATH%;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
SET XFCE_DATA=\cygwin\usr\X11R6\var

bash -c "nohup bash -c 'xwin -screen 0 1280x1024x32 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0
-engine 4 &'" &
bash -c "nohup bash -c 'xfwm &'" &
start /B rxvt -fn "Lucida Console-12" -e bash

@echo on

when ssh'd to a remote firewall, then rsh'd to an Irix box, I set DISPLAY
appropriately and display clients back to cygwin/xfree86

simple things like xclock work fine on 4.0.3 and all the Test versions I
tried, including 22 and 23

however, although XEmacs (version 21.5b1) works fine with 4.0.3 and Test 22,
Test 23 crashes - here's the full log from nohup.out:

other items of possible interest:

o engines 1 and 2 fail in the same way
o using twm instead of xfwm results in the same crash

just to re-emphasize, I've been using Test 22 all day with no problems

if there's anything you'd like me to try, I'll be happy to...

thanks...
