In my experience, this typically means that you are making X calls from
separate threads of execution.  For example, you start an X call which is
interrupted by a signal receipt, and in that handler you make another X
call.  This could also happen if you are just multithreaded.

The fix is really a design issue: use of an X connection pointer must be
sychronized across threads of execution.  The easiest way is to only make X
calls from a particular thread, or put a mutex around areas that will be
making X calls.

I'm just curious, what does this message ("unexpected async reply") mean,
and what's the fix? I have experienced this with other programs, too.
