They are Xlib-internal.  This is almost invariably caused by a wild
pointer bashing an Xlib-internal data structure.  Check your malloc
areas for overruns, check for storing through uninitialized automatic
pointer variables....

What the error actually means is that Xlib sees things happening out of
sequence.  X requests and replies have sequence numbers, which have to
be in sequence, you see....
