I've been talking to Thomas about it. Firstly I can't duplicate it. Secondly

Which directly contradicts what the actual POSIX 1003.1g draft states. So I
think 1. He has some signal handling confusing him in user space, and 2.
he didnt read the posix spec carefully when he wrote the code.

Any Xserver is a huge program so bugs will occur. I'm waiting a reply to
the email pointing out the words in the draft (1003.1g 6.3)
