We've seen this before and never was able to get to the bottom
of it. I believe that either SGI's glXUseXFont protocol does not
match the specification or they are not swapping the data properly
when receiving this request from a machine with a different endian.
We (NVIDIA) noticed that this occured with Mesa as well as our
own drivers when connecting to an SGI server. You send them a
valid context tag and they claim it isn't and send back junk
as the error value.
Mark.
