Weird Font Bug?

Maybe this isn't the best place to mention this, but here goes.

 I grabbed XFree 4.4.0 the other night and installed it over a modified 
Slack 9.0 install.  Modified mostly because it has glibc 2.3.2, (I 
grabbed the XFree 4.4.0 precompiled binaries for glibc2.3) and kernel 
2.6.3.  I don't know if this is a font issue, or a problem with Xnest or 
xterm.  But I noticed a problem.  Whenever I start an Xnest (from within 
an already running X session) with the command Xnest :1 -ac &, then as 
root run windomaker with wmaker -display :1 & ... I have a dock icon 
that did with with 4.3.0, that basically loaded an xterm with a 10x20 
font, but instead, I get this error:

root@tor:~# xterm -fn 10x20 -display :1
X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  49
  Current serial number in output stream:  50

  Insufficient resources?  I have a 64 meg Geforce2 card and 512 megs of 
ram!  It also happens with the 6x12 font and 6x9 font... Also, I said 
before, this worked before I upgraded to 4.4.0, when I was on 4.3.0.  I 
should probably also note I'm using NVidia's latest drivers (1.0-5336).  
Has anyone else seen this behavior?  Should I open a bugzilla account?  
Any help would be appreciated...
