Xorg segfaults on XOpenDisplay multi thread

[Matan Drori]

I'm Using XInitThreads(), and have no use for the other thread functions
since im not sharing a display(XLockDisplay and XUnlockDisplay that
recive a display object).

I'm calling multiple XOpenDisplay calls from different threads.
It looks like a deeper issue since I'm not sharing the display object
itself.
if needed i can post my test program here(very small) even tough  i
couldn't re produce it on my openSuse 11.1 machine, only on the IA64
sles 10 sp 2 machine.
