I`m trying to recompile a small multithreaded X11 program of mine to work
with the OS X X11 server.  I`m having problems though, I typically get a
unexpected async reply error from the server, possibly indicative of
something not being thread safe, followed by lots of sequence lost
messages. I`m calling XInitThreads() at the start of the program and
compiling with -D_REENTRANT, is there something else I need to do under OS
X?  I didn't know there was an official server so I installed the XFree86
one first, hopefully I didn't screw something up by installing the Apple
server and SDK over the top.

Currently, Apple's X11 does not have thread safe libraries. You need to install XFree86 4.3.0 if you are using an X client that relies on thread safe X libraries. As has been mentioned here many times, at some point Apple is planning on updating their X11 release to use the XFree86 4.3.0 libraries, but currently they are using 4.2.1. A GUI installer for 4.3.0 will be available shortly, but the standard command line installer is available from XFree86.Org.
