For some reason a BUFSIZE of 2048 is too big for the writev in _XSend
(in XlibInt.c). Change it to 1024 (I ifdef'd around it using ns32000)
and rebuild libX.a and everything that refers to it (that is, almost
everything.)

A symptom of this problem is that xterm's will mysteriously exit with
status 84 (which, if you trace back thru xterm, is an XioError and
errno is 40 or "EMSGBIG" or something like that.)

Anyhow, 1024 seems to work, you could try 1536 or some such if
you're ambitious.

The more timid might consider waiting a few days for more bug
fixes like this. The more bold might help :-)
