I am running X11r3 code (HP has not gotten us to R4 yet) on an
HP9000 system and get the following errors upon requesting 16k
points:

   X Protocol error detected by server: BadLength, poly request too
   large or internal Xlib length error.
    Failed request major op code 67 (X_PolyRectangle)
      .....

The number of points is an int and I haven't exceeded that.  Is this
a bug in X?

Thanks in advance if you can shed some light on this.
