Subject: emacs crashs when remote x-windows closes after

        assertion in xcd_xlib.c (!c->xlib.lock) 


Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

open emacs in X, make frame on display to some other display (either
directly or via ssh -X -Y) with "make-frame-on-display".  Close the
other frame.  all still OK.  close the other display (logout, kill X or
kill ssh link), and emacs will crash with:
  emacs: xcb_xlib.c:41: xcb_xlib_lock: Assertion `!c->xlib.lock' failed.

Similar problems happened with other applications when the system moved
from xlib to xcb-xlib.  This is probably due to strict checking of
actions that had been left unchecked in past versions of the library,
and therefor should be considered an Emacs bug rather then a library
bug.
  

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
