When I delete a large chunk of text with C-w, XEmacs dies a 
reproducible, slow and horrible death.  The backtrace always
contains a frame like this:

#35 0x08362c72 in x_handle_selection_request (event=0xa486dac)
    at /afs/informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/home/sperber/build/xemacs/src/
select-x.c:688

Furthermore, after a while, before it dies, X event processing
also gets confused:
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x143b641
  Serial number of failed request:  1255131
  Current serial number in output stream:  1255132
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  25 (X_SendEvent)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x143b641
  Serial number of failed request:  1255132
  Current serial number in output stream:  1255132
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x143b642

  Current serial number in output stream:  1255139
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x143b642
  Serial number of failed request:  1255138
  Current serial number in output stream:  1255139

  Resource id in failed request:  0x143b642
  Serial number of failed request:  1255139
  Current serial number in output stream:  1255139

etc. etc.
