This seems to happen on all X servers (tested on RT, PS/2, VAX qvss):

	% /afs/testers.athena.mit.edu/system/vax_bsd43/srvd/etc/Xqvss &
	[1] 28205
	% /usr/bin/X11/xlsatoms -display :0 -range -200 | tail
	85      C
	86      AVERAGE_WIDTH
	87      CHARSET_REGISTRY
	88      ISO8859
	89      CHARSET_ENCODING
	90      1
	91      Public domain font.  Share and enjoy.
	92      -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO8859-1
	93      These "glyphs" are unencumbered
	94      cursor


The last 5 atom names are unreasonable; something is obviously confused.  My
RT server has about 30 of these strange atoms.  Note that the xlsatoms was
the first client to connect to the server in the example, so either the
server is at fault or a large number of X clients are.
