Neither gdb nor valgrind gave any useful insight in what is happening (besides 
the
indication that it happens deep in the cleanup code for X Window). Also 
commenting
out parts of the main code did not work.

Then I commented out large parts of the code for creating a plframe and that 
revealed
that the problems originate in the call to plP_esc(). If I comment that out, 
the crash
will not occur. Now why there would a difference between the wish and the 
plserver
cases is still a mystery, but at least I am zooming in.

Arjen
