All systems which could generate I/O interrupts on the X file descriptor need to have locking enabled, or there is a high probability that the X library will deadlock. This requirement may be removed in the future with restructuring of the way that the interrupt driven I/O is handled. Ensure that the appropriate XLOCK/XUNLOCK is done around the X window closing code.
