The problem we were seeing is that closing the connection didn't update
the context stamp, so the dri driver could still get the lock without
talking to the server.  This meant frames were still in flight when
xlib finally realized the connection was closed and exited.  We saw
the same behavior with a Radeon card.  The easiest way to reproduce
this is to start gears and then kill the connection (wm or xkill).

Yes.
