[PATCH] Close vtRequestsPending race

[Helge Bahmann]

Hello *,

Could something like the attached fix be merged? It fixes a problem where the 
kernel requests the X server to relinquish its terminal via SIGUSR1, but the X 
server blocks in select() nevertheless.

The problem is not easily triggered, it requires a relatively idle system (no user 
input, drawing), where "something" issues chvt just before the server blocks 
waiting for events.

Best regards
Helge
