Hi--
I've been getting frequent and not completely reproducible X11 crashes when running a program on Lion and Mountain Lion. Both are using xorg-server from macports. The crashes sometimes occur just as my program is starting, and since I haven't modified anything in the startup code recently, I don't think that I caused the problem. When it crashes, I often get this message in the terminal:
Fatal IO error 35 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server /tmp/launch-8kmgxI/org.macports:0.
and this in the system log:

Could the xset problem noted in the log be responsible for crashing the server?
Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
