When running X v10r4+ clients on a Pyramid 98x (OSx 4.0c) talking to
an X v10r4+ server on a Sun 3/50 (Sun UNIX 3.0), things they don't
work so good.

On the Sun, I see about a dozen vectors scribbled all over the bitmap,
not respecting window boundaries, but generally in the northwest area
of the screen.  On the Pyramid, I see:

# /u/osu/bin/xload aargh:0
X Error: parameter not a Window
         Request code: 2
         Request function: 59
         Request window 0x0
         Error Serial #35
         Current serial #35
#

Similar things happen when trying to talk to an ULTRIX-32w 1.0 server
on a uVAXII station, only the Request function is `78'.  Similar
things happen with other clients on the Pyramid.

If it were a byte ordering problem wouldn't I expect much more to see
it in interactions between a Sun server and a VAX client?  (But I
don't see it there.)  What else should I be looking for?  Any
suggestions?  Thanks muchly!
