I have a SUN 3/260 with X11R3 as well as a MacII running A/UX
with X11R3.  I need to open several displays from one client to
send information to other clients on those displays.  Naturally
I use the XOpenDisplay(DisplayName) to open a new display.  This
works fine for about 4 displays and then I get an error and the
client crashes.  Sometimes though I have been able to open
as many as 11 displays before I get the error.  This happens on
both the SUN and the MacII.  Is there any limitations on the number
of displays a client can open at one time?


Thanks in advance.
