Hard to say much more than you have a bug in your code and need to debug it.
You don't even include the error code, which is one of the most important bits
of information for such debugging.

One particular "gotcha" to watch out for - due to a mistake made 2 decades ago
that we're stuck with, the libX11 API defines 32-bit values as always being
passed as a "long", even if that means you have to convert an array of 64-bit
longs into an array of 32-bit ints in the library before sending to the server.
