When frestoring, RP can only see the XID of each window.  This is
different each time a program starts.  Probably you fdumped, quit the
program, started it again and frestored.  RP cannot tell that the new
and the old window are from the same program.

Yeah, I've noticed this with CVS but haven't tried to fix it yet.

The latter error was probably introduced when Shawn added the code for
the `top' keymap.  The former is to do with the code that allocates a
unique number for e.g. windows.  Probably there is code along the
lines of `free_num(get_current_num())'; when no window is current, it
returns -1, and tries to free a non-existent window number.

I've seen these two errors for a while; you should be able to just
ignore them.
