So the bug is with the DEC X server ... I guess it's not likely 7.3 will
use the MIT server, huh?  (Who would care about the PS extension?
Wouldn't that be something available only on the mips platforms?)

But it's strange it would crash with certain fonts.  Is it a problem
with the fonts?  Maybe if they were converted to pcf format it would
work?  (Yes, I'm looking for an alternative that assumes the DEC X
server will be used and won't be fixed.)
