BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)when conneting to Solaris Machines


Unpatched Solaris machines may receive a BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) error message when connecting from X-Win32 2010 or later. This is a Solaris bug and is common to X Servers using the X11R7 codebase. X-Win32 2010 upgraded its X.org codebase upgrade from X11R6 to X11R7. This is why the bug was not seen in previous versions.
