[comp.windows.x] Bug? in Sun color server

jip@nih-csl.UUCP (john powell) (03/30/89)

Bug? 

environment:
X11R3 server patched thru 8 with purdue & purdue plus patches
compiled with gcc. SUN3 running 3.5 on a SUN 3/60.  

Using Xdrawlines and with an array containing approximately 5000 points,
when drawing to a window on the color screen (:0.1) the server crashes
after drawing approximately 860 lines.  The same application outputting
to a window on the monochrome display (:0.0) works fine.  The same 
application drawing to a color window on an RT (megapel display :0.1)
works fine.  Changing the application to dump the co-ordinates with
Xdrawlines in bursts of 300 (probably could be higher) all works fine
on the SUN 3/60 :0.1.  

Is this a problem with the SUN color server?  It is repeatable.
The data is X-Y where X is linear and Y is random noise between
-1 and 1.  They are being scaled into a 'graphics' window.
The line width is '0'.
