I found this bug via static analysis, using GCC 4.6.0's warnings.
src/xfns.c's make_invisible_cursor returns a garbage value if
XCreateBitmapFromData fails. I plan to fix it as follows.
I don't know that returning 0 fixes the bug, so I'd like someone
who's expert in this area to look at this. Since the patch replaces
undefined behavior with defined behavior it isn't likely to be
introducing a bug, so it shouldn't hurt to install the patch.
* xfns.c (make_invisible_cursor): Don't return garbage
if XCreateBitmapFromData fails.
