xorg 7.5.2 + emacs

[Cy Schubert]

It appears that xorg 7.5.2 causes emacs to segfault. The workaround is to 
set emacs.synchronous: on in .Xresources.

Another data point. I copied my $LOCALBASE from my old laptop (i915) to my 
new laptop (intel hd3000), in a jail (won't bore you why). Running emacs in 
the jail and displaying to the new X server resulted in no segfault, 
suggesting that this may be library related. Furthermore running emacs 
under truss, without synchronous also works (probably because truss 
inadvertently causes calls to X to be synchronous.

If anyone is having problems with emacs under 7.5.2, the workaround should 
do it until a better solution is found.
