Actually there were lots of bugs in XCBParseDisplay's handling of bad
input. I've just committed a complete re-write that uses strtoul instead
of sscanf.

Now XCB passes its entire test suite. Yay! Except the suite only tests
XCBParseDisplay, so this isn't actually much of an accomplishment.

Thanks for pointing out this problem, um, five months ago. ;-)
