Xephyr crashing on 8 bit connection attempt

[pratish ganguly]

Dear all

The X server here is configured with 24 bits depth. I am indeed trying to
make a Xephyr connect to a 24 bits depth Xorg while configuring Xephyr
itself to use a depth of 8 bits. For this I am using the following command
only.

Xephyr :1 -ac -once -screen 800x600x8 -query 107.108.92.131 -fp
/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/
