Version: R3
Client Machine and Operating System:
	Sun 3/60 C, SunOS 3.5
Display  Type:
	Sun cgfour, MIT R3 sample server
Window Manager: uwm
Area: X protocol

Description:
	I tried to run a program on the above environment, the main window
appears and then clashes. The following error message was given:

  X protocol error: BadIDchoice, invalid resource ID chosen for this connection.
  Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 0
  Resource id in failed request: 0x16e0169
  Serial number of failed request: 87
  Current serial number in output stream: 93

Can someone tell me where I can find what each of these mean, please?

The same program runs properly when I send it to another server on a DECstation 
3100. The  Sun has 8M of RAM and about 30M of swap space whereas the DECstation
has 16M of RAM with about 100M of swap space.

	Thanks in advace.
