Spent a long time searching on SF (and discovered a useful post where
you described _xwin.in_gfx_call :) - but nothing to be found about a
clipping race condition (I went through all the result pages when
searching for "clipping" and then for "race condition"). There's no way
to search for posts by an author.
But the SF search seems really broken, it would sometimes jump to other
mailing lists, and when looking for a post in the date index they aren't
there even if they are reported by the seatch results.
Do you still know about which date it was posted?
