Oh, dumb of me I didn't see that.

So it's an imlib2 bug. The problem is I don't know how to fix it. You're
keeping the last used display in a static variable, but of course you
have no way of knowing that it's been closed (a perfectly valid
situation), and that call cores, because you can't use a close()d
display (the memory has been cleaned up - the GC is _already_ free()d).

So what should we do?

I know you don't want to recreate the GC on each call, but is there
another way?

Tom.
