Subject: Can an X11R4 client kill an X11R3 server ???

Our client is a Sun 3/470 4.1 OS with Openwindows 2.0
our server is an HP 700/x x window terminal.

The OW 2.0 is x11R4, but the 
HP server code is x11R3.

After about an hour of intensive work the server will blow up.
Like it had a glych in its memory manager.
Every once an a while I will get bad atoms messages at the
client terminal, but it still works.

Can R4 calls to a R3 server cause the R3 server to become
brain damaged?
