Yes, this is an old bug in xview, calling an Xlib function that should
never have been public in a way that has never been safe. See this
thread for more:

There is a simple fix--call XAllocIDs to get all four XIDs instead of
calling XAllocID four times--but apparently that fix hasn't been
applied?
