X protocol error when creating second frame and restarting wm

#87969
From: J Scott Berg

Emacs version: 19.25
IBM RS6000 AIX 3.2.5
./configure rs6000-ibm-aix --with-x11 --with-x-toolkit
No modifications to emacs source

IBM's X server; All clients MIT.

To produce the error, do the following:

From the src directory in the distribution

emacs xfns.c &

From within emacs

C-x 5 f xterm.c

Now, restart the window manager from the menu.  The emacs will die
with exit code 70, and something will print

X protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on protocol request 40

I produced this error with two different window managers, one of which
was twm (the other is ncdwm, which I suspect is not generally
available).

Thanks
