I agree that fixing the bugs is better, but as well as testing XWin to
find bugs I also try to use it for work, and if Windows apps hang
unrecoverably then I can't use the clipboard support.  So you may be
able to swat bugs faster if users can use the software with less risk.

Thanks for looking at this - I will try 4.3.0-50.  (And try running
with -clipboard once again.)
