Couldn't tell you, sorry. I can't break any of my machines right
now to try. I really need to stick to the X11 that came with the
distribution at the moment.

Most likely, but that shouldn't kill the application.
We're doing lots of these:
XReadBitmapFile()
XSetStipple()
XSetLineAttributes()
XSetForeground()
XSetFunction()
XFreePixmap()
XSetFillStyle()
XFillPolygon()
XDrawLines()
Basically we're drawing polygons using a stipple, often these are
county-sized polygons, then drawing a border in a solid color around
the polygons. When zoomed out to U.S. or World size, we can end up
with a lot of weather alerts showing, and Xastir is very busy at
times trying to redraw all of these on a periodic basic (we're
drawing other things as well, like symbols and tracks as people move
around.
I wouldn't expect X11 to kill the app just because the app wants it
to do a lot. It seemed that the Cygwin list link that I posted
before talked about a similar problem, and they fixed it there.
