[comp.windows.x] Question on X Protocol error: Bad links request

daniel@vicorp.com (Daniel Dee) (04/08/91)

I am having a problem apparently at random that terminates
my program with the following message:

X Protocol Error detected by server
Bad links request
Link incorrect
Internal Xlib error
Failed request
X_ImageText8

This is on a DECstation 3100 running Ultrix.
I think this error is generated on a call to drawing
XDrawImageString. Does anybody know anything about
this? What is a bad link error?

Thanks for any help.

This error is generated by your application program, not by Xlib or the
X server.  Can you post source code that causes this?
