Having looked at Bugzilla #978 it shows that it's very easy to crash the Xserver when using out-of-bounds coordinates that get mixed up when passing in int's that get converted to short's during the client->server conversation.
Seeing as PutImage gets pushed through the CopyArea path, I'm sure the same problem can happen with the core protocol request for XCopyArea() too (and possibly others). There's obvious ways to fix this, but I'm keen to hear others views...
