Package: xlib6g
Version: 3.3.6-8

I discover this problem when use Netscape.
Some time Netscape hang with 100% CPU usage.
I look on code and find that it make infinity loop
inside XlibInc.c file:

#ifdef XTHREADS
        while (dpy->flags & XlibDisplayWriting) {
            ConditionWait(dpy, dpy->lock->writers);
        }
#endif

where ConditionWait defined in locking.h as

#define ConditionWait(d,c) if ((d)->lock) \
        (*(d)->lock->condition_wait)(c, (d)->lock->mutex)

So when (d)->lock is null then program have no chance to
leave while loop.

This problem already fixed more new version of X11 
(at least in 4.0.1). So there is patch:

--- XlibInt.c.orig      Sat Jul  1 14:17:42 2000
+++ XlibInt.c   Fri Jul  7 08:09:53 2000

        }
 #ifdef XTHREADS
        while (dpy->flags & XlibDisplayWriting) {
-           ConditionWait(dpy, dpy->lock->writers);
+           if (dpy->lock) {
+               ConditionWait(dpy, dpy->lock->writers);
+           } else {
+               _XWaitForWritable (dpy, cv);
+           }
        }
 #endif
        size = todo = dpy->bufptr - dpy->buffer;


Thanks,
Dmitry

This bug was fixed upstream a while ago.

An inspection of the source reveals that it is certainly fixed in
XFree86 4.2.1, currently in Debian testing and unstable.

Closing this bug.
