Thanks Carsten. Not only, that you found another nice bug, but you
also ruined indirectly my file system ;(

I must confirm this bug. It's not only funny looking, but also very
dangerous. And I guess, it has some connections to the dead lock
problems, I have under Solaris. The X-Server just locks and nothing
is allowed anymore (unfortunatly including switching to the console).
