 In trying to get cbzone up and running in 386bsd; I discovered the 
 following problem.

 I'm using XFree86 version 1.1 as available on agate.

 After the game starts up (opens the display and does some drawing) it
 will bomb out with the following message:

XIO:  fatal IO error 14 (Bad address) on X server ":0.0"
      after 400 requests (399 known processed) with 17 events remaining.


  A breakpoint in _XDefaultIOError() reveals the following traceback:

    _XDefaultIOError()
    _XIOError()
    _XSend()
    _XDrawSegments()
    multiline()              <----- cbzone function
    drawhorizone()           <----- cbzone function
    main()()                 <----- cbzone function

 It would appear that something is wrong in XDrawSegments....

 Has anyone else run into this?
