Actually, this is just a bug in the (unsupported) code that DEC has
been shipping - I'm not sure where it came from, but you'll find that
if you compile the X11R3 or X11R4 libraries and clients, the bug will
go away.  I think it's a problem with an X event being incorrectly
discarded by the event loop, rather than a problem with flow control.
