The maxnames parameter of XListFonts can take values that exceed 32767
(the hardcoded value) on platforms where sizeof(int) is greater than 2
bytes. The patch supplied eliminates the problem. It was made for
XFree-4.5.0, not x.org for two reasons:
1. source code of old utilities doesn't differ too much between the
two distributions;
2. I don't have x.org sources handy.
