Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Prior to this update, the X Window System font server (xfs) could have terminated with a segmentation fault on 64-bit platforms if the client-limit was set to values greater than 100. With this update, the underlying code has been changed and xfs remains stable regardless of the set client limit.
