No, the problem disappears. But, man, does it sloooowww fvwm down ;-).

I couldn't get it to fail after four restarts, but the fifth restart
*did* fail. Ugh. Doesn't look like a fun one to find.

This is what I fond in my logfile -- the first one is my fault for
(foolishly) putting a "Restart fvwm -debug" in my menu w/o checking
the manual.

FVWM: Call of 'fvwm -debug' failed!!!!
X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request: 66 (X_PolySegment)
  Resource id in failed request: 0x4000001
  Serial number of failed request: 39
  Current serial number in output stream: 45

I've only tried to use -O.
