Why wait for X11?  Just go to the Read_segment routine in main.c and
change it. 


        if (size + sizeof (XReq) > bufsize[client]) {
            /* must increase the buffer to accomodate what's coming */
#ifndef NOLIMIT
            if (size <= MAXBUFSIZE) {
#endif
                ptr = Xalloc (bufsize[client] = size + sizeof (XReq));
                bcopy (bufptr[client], ptr, bufcnt[client]);
                free (sockbuf[client]);
                sockbuf[client] = bufptr[client] = ptr;
#ifndef NOLIMIT
            } else
                Close_down (client);
#endif
        }

BTW, all of you out there who run the HP server don't have this limit.
Also removed is the silly restriction which disallows the use of ZPixmaps
on monochrome displays.
