Hi folks!

I have a "little" problem with my X386 Server. Starting two larger applications
(e.g. Emacs) and iconifying both windows crashes my Xserver and produces a
core dump. Investigating the core with gdb tells me that the Xserver could not
access some of his memory.
I tried the original XFree86 binary distribution and also compiled the whole
Mit-stuff myself. The result is the same.
I am running olvwm as window manager.

Does somebody know, how to solve the problem?

My hardware:
486DX 50, 16MB
ET4000
Adaptec 1542B, Fujitsu 520MB SCSI, Quantum 105MB SCSI
