RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Overlay and No DirectInput Test 4

Oh, I notice that you mention the miSprite... functions.  That's probably
due to the XFree86 build that I used to build XWin.exe - some patches to the
tree a couple weeks ago caused a crash on startup of XWin.exe, I tracked the
problem down to two pointers in one of the miSprite files, and I basically
commented out enough of the cruft to get the crashes to stop.  I'm sure that
there have been patches to the tree since then that fix the problem
correctly, but I haven't updated my tree in awhile.

But this is a slightly different case.  XWin seqfaults when a client closes.
