memory problem with the X11 - SHM backend

Hi cairo,

I have a problem running you with X11/Xshm. This is a debian host here.
The following program reports an always increasing "evs" thing.
The first line it outputs is "1 evs" and the last one is
"7409 evs". That means the X event queue is not emptied. (Please don't
look at the style, it's a quick and dirty hack to let the problem pop
up.)

Oh yes, you need to create a 128x128 mini.png file to run it. Content
does not seem to matter, I have a white image here.

Am I doing something wrong with you or is the problem on your side?
If I call XSync(d, True) the queue is emptied and the original program
that exhibited the problem and from which I wrote that little proof of
concept still works pretty reasonably well. (What a terrific sentence
I just wrote...)
Except it smokes my CPU like hell, but that's none of your concern I
suspect.

In the hope that you can help me here...
Regards cairo, have a nice sunday.
