Description:   Opened: 2009-01-28 09:48 0000 
I kept getting "Fatal IO error: client killed" or "The application 'xchat' lost
its connection to the display :0.0;".
The reason is a bogus check on the filedescriptors. The fix is from upstream
(included in 1.4.2+).

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use X
2. Wait for application to disapear (look in ~/.xsession-errrors

Actual Results:  
xserver closes connection

Expected Results:  
xserver should check errno correctly

Don't CC maintainers when you cannot assign bugs...

Ok.
This patch is simple, is from upstream and of course works.
And it is really terrible when apllications keep closing without a reason. And
as 1.3 is the current _stable_ version in portage, please push the patch!
(I am somehow confused nobody reported the problem before...)

------- Comment #4 From Markus 2009-04-04 13:12:12 0000 ------- 
Why does this depend on bug 251832? This can be pushed for 1.3. If 1.5 is
stable, this bug is obsolete.

------- Comment #5 From Markus 2009-04-06 17:14:58 0000 ------- 
Fix is in upstream and xorg-server 1.5 is marked stable.
