AW: 1.9.2.0: Xwin SIGSEGV when font server should be queried

["Weeber, Burkhard" <b dot weeber at viastore dot com>]

I did a bit of further reseach.

It looks like it does not have anything to do with the way the font server is queried, 
but rather the way the startup is done.

When I have the font server added during the XWin startup - either in the startxwin.bat, or a bash-script I call from there, the XWin SIGSEGVs.

When I let the XWin come up with a few of my fav screens, and I then add the font server either from a cygwin shell or from a client shell the font server is subsequently queried correctly and the SIGSEGV does not appear.

Strange.

Anyway.
Thanks for the exe to create a full stack trace.
Here it is:
