Guys,

After starting magic-7.2.32, I grabbed the following 2 lines from Mac OS X's
console log:

Mar 31 21:51:02 SilverSurfer WindowServer[174]: Reserved range exhausted.
(0xbbf5d000 to 0xbc162000 goes out of bounds)

Mar 31 21:51:08 SilverSurfer WindowServer[174]: Reserved range exhausted.
(0xbbecb000 to 0xbc1d0000 goes out of bounds)

Anybody have any idea what it means?  The X_COLORMAP_BASE and
X_COLORMAP_RESERVED are set to the values defined in grX11su1.c.
