Running X11R6 3.1, on a mach32 under netbsd-current

I have found an application which locks the xconsole solid,
requiring a reboot to free.  It looks (froma gdb trace)
like the final RIP calls are being made from XPending()
and getting stuck on a select() call somewhere deep.

The application is the netrek paradise binary.  This lockup
occurs both with a native (netbsd-current) binary and with
a remote display from an SGI (irix 5.2).

I can provide a netbsd binary.  Other binaries are available
via ftp.  Contact me with email if you're interested or have
seen similar problems.
