This bug was brought on initially by the need to be compatible with the
dix and cfb code in the sample server, and was sustained by a lack of
time and resources before R3.  This bug has been fixed in the latest
product release of the HP server which is supplied with the 6.5 and 3.1
releases of HP-UX for the series 300 and 800 machines respectively.
