FYI, it appears that my analysis is correct, the changes in
videostream.c alone produce the correct result.  The "Xlib: unexpected
async reply (sequence 0x1283)!" error doesn't always happen immediately;
sometimes you get several minutes of video prior to it occurring, with
the scaling happening as you would expect.  I haven't had time to chase
down the error; the scaled-up quality wasn't good enough for our
purposes and we get better results from dropping the screen resolution,
so it's no longer a priority.  Hopefully I'll get to it at some stage.
