[comp.windows.x] XIO Error

scheeni@cadev6.intel.com (Santhosh S. Cheeniyil) (06/28/90)

Platform: Sun 386i, X11 Release 3 (Window manager: twm or uwm)

We have developed an X application which makes use of Xlib
(mainly for drawing), Xt toolkit, and Xhp widget set. 

We parse an ascii file and create a window to draw  a
waveform. These windows are like buffers. Every time we parse a
file we create a new buffer(window) and draw into it.  We can switch
between these buffers at any time to manipulate data on them.
While parsing the 'n'th file ('n' depending on the amount of data
we read in for a file) and drawing into the 'n'th window, the
application exits with the following error message (No core
dump):


XIO:  fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "unix:0.0"
      after 48616 requests (48553 known processed) with 15
      events remaining.
	    The connection was probably broken by a server
	    shutdown or KillClient.
	

Are we reaching some kind of server limitation here? Is there a
way around it? I did an 'Xsync' to flush events queued up on the
client side after completion of drawing to each buffer - doesn't help.

Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.

OOps...forgot to put the server name in the article titled "XIO
Error."

We are using the xnews server, SunOS 4.0.2
