[PATCH libX11] xcb_io: Fix Xlib 32-bit request number issues

[Jan Smout]

I already forked it for myself a couple of months ago. As long as I control
the packages which get installed on the machines I have no real issue...
except for an uncomfortable feeling that if things like this don't get
fixed, what other dragons might be hiding deep down in the xlib library?
Now, when somebody would want to run the application on their own install,
that's where the shit hits the fan. I'll be forced to tell them to
downgrade their xlib to 1.3.3 and file a complaint on this list :-)
