Sorry for the accidental crosspost.<br>
I have overlooked that Jan has posted this to two lists,<br>
and so my reply ended up in two lists as well.<br>
<br>
@Jan, if you read this: <br>
Please keep this discussion in one list, namely, xorg-devel.<br>
And don't Cc: and To: so many people directly.<br>
This will *not* help. But it'll get your email address into many
filters.<br>
<br>
Anyways, looking forward to see your problem analysis and your patch.<br>
<br>

Hi Jan,<br>
<br>
Can you please repost your patch together with a description of
the problem and your approach to fix it.<br>
<br>
I was not subscribed to that list back when you have posted it,
and so may some others, who may be able to move this thing
forward. You may also post a link to the specific mails/threads in
the mailinglist-archives if that'll help with understanding your
patch.<br>
<br>
I'll look at that then.<br>
<br>
I have some other issues with sequence numbers, and I think we
need to solve that on a design level.<br>
The essential thing is that the protocol transports only 16-bit
sequence numbers, but server and client work with at least 32-bit,
sometimes 64-bit sequence numbers. What I've seen so far in the
code looks like heuristics which may fail in some cases. Maybe I
am missing something. In any case, I want to see your problem
analysis and your proposed fix before I propose something.<br>
<br>

I already forked it for myself a couple of months ago. As long
as I control the packages which get installed on the machines
I have no real issue... except for an uncomfortable feeling
that if things like this don't get fixed, what other dragons
might be hiding deep down in the xlib library?<br>
Now, when somebody would want to run the application on their
own install, that's where the shit hits the fan. I'll be
forced to tell them to downgrade their xlib to 1.3.3 and file
a complaint on this list :-)<br>

Keith, we are approaching
the one year anniversary of
this bug already. Maybe it
is time to finish the patch
and leave the issue behind?<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>fyi, I have been running
my application with the
first version of Jonas's
patch for 65 days straight
now without a glitch (it
used to crash in less than
20 hours).<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I also intend to restart
this long duration test once
the final patch will be
released<br>
<br>

The problem is that
reviewing this patch
is *really hard*. The
last<br>
time, I think I spent
a solid couple of days
thinking about this
and<br>
making sure I'd caught
all of the cases. I'm
still not sure it's
right,<br>
but I guess it's
probably better than
what we have?<br>
