Yes it still breaks.  I no longer think it's a hang, though.  plinit()
returns, it doesnt hang like i had reported.

All other X apps work fine, in all combinations of "run on local
(breaking) machine or remote" and "display on local (breaking) machine
or remote".

"-dev tk" and "-dev ntk" both work like a champ.  Far as i can tell,
it's just xwin that's hosed.
