I am trying to understand what the following message implies.

 XIO:  fatal IO error 0 (Error 0) on X server "mordor:0.0"
      after 3589 requests (3589 known processed) with 43 events remaining.

The exact situation is this. I have a client running on Machine A
with the server on Machine B and this is the message that the
client generates when it crashes. It appears to happen when our
ethernet is heavily loaded. Is this a reasonable cause of this
error message? The client happens to express, a troff previewer,
but in fact xtroff does the same thing! Always in the late
afternoon when there is a lot of traffic. Suggestions, comments and
how to track this down would be much appreciated.
