Avoid large pixmaps (110_nxagent_createpixmap-bounds-check.full.patch).
It is allowed to try and allocate a pixmap which is larger than 32767 in either dimension. However, all of the framebuffer code is buggy and does not reliably draw to such big pixmaps, basically because the Region data structure operates with signed shorts for the rectangles in it. Furthermore, several places in the X server computes the size in bytes of the pixmap and tries to store it in an integer. This integer can overflow and cause the allocated size to be much smaller. So, such big pixmaps are rejected here with a BadAlloc Originally contributed by FreeNX Team
