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...

Alan.
