OS: CentOS 5.1 x86.

Hi, after applying the latest X.Org updates, applications have stopped 
running with an error message:

"The program 'multiget' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
   (Details: serial 214 error_code 11 request_code 146 minor_code 5)
   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() 
function.)"


Just checked the Red Hat errata link: 
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0031.html


and it says:

"[Updated 18th January 2008]
The original packages distributed with this errata had a bug which could
cause some X applications to fail on 32-bit platforms. We have updated 
the packages to correct this bug".



Please fix ASAP!!!
