I'd seen this in various apps sometimes too, but hadn't tracked it down
yet: thanks for prodding me. I just debugged it by the technique of
"sudden insight": I forgot to check for I/O errors in _XGetXCBBuffer.

I can reproduce the bug mostly consistently by running xev and hitting
Alt-F4 soon after. After adding an appropriate error check, I can't
reproduce the bug anymore. I'm calling it fixed. :-)

If anyone sees this assertion failure while running the newly-fixed
version of libX11, I'd still like to hear about it.
