I believe there were X errors before, but XEmacs would usually keep on 
going.
Now, it seems more frequent with 21.4.20 and 21.4.21 and it dies.

For X11, it's backwards, the server is on the local machine and the 
client is the remote
machine right?  The server is running Solaris 10 and the client is 
running Solaris 9
and these patches are not installed on either.  However, Motif patches 
were installed on
the client, but the number, apparently, is different.  I haven't 
installed any patches on the
server, but I am running JDS rather than Motif.

In any case, this is not a crash on exit.  There is no crash at all, 
it's minimized
but dies before you get the change to re-open it.
