[comp.lang.lisp] problem with display in CLX

I am running a hypertext browsing system written in Sun Common Lisp
and using CLX. The system runs fine using a Sparcstation with X11R3
as the X-Server but will cause errors when using a Mac IIfx running
A/UX 2.0 with X11R4 as the display server. 
The following is a typical error message:-

X-Error: ID 41 from display #<DISPLAY pc 0> should have been a 
XLIB:WINDOW but was :WM_SIZE_HINTS.

It looks like the lisp structure for the display is not what it should be.
This is the structure returned by the 'open-display' function from the 
display.lisp file in the CLX distribution. We are working with CLX for 
X11 Release 2.

If this old release is the cause of the problem then I cannot get
a newer one because we cannot use anonymous FTP. 

Anyway all suggestions are welcome. If anyone realy thinks that the 
open-display function is the problem then I would appreciate them 
posting or mailing me a recent copy of display.lisp or whatever it is 
called these days.
