Thanks for the patch. You did it exactly like I was thinking I would fix it.
Thanks for contributing,

Howdy Harold, it looks like you're really busy with the 4.3 updates, but here's another small patch for XWin that gets rid of the GPFs that sometimes happen when exiting the server w/-clipboard or -mwm.
Basically, the X server was closing connections to the threads who were then attempting to re-open them and restart their main loops. This is fine for a server reset, but for a server kill you don't want to re-open the connections because the info you've got (things like ScreenPtrs etc.) aren't valid anymore.
This patch just adds a notify call to the two threads which sets a flag so that when they do a longjmp() back to their main loops on an IO error they pthread_exit() and not attempt to re-access their passed in parameters/etc.
