When (long) is larger than (int), and when realloc succeeds with sizes larger than INT_MAX, ConnectionOutput->size and ConnectionOutput->count overflow and become negative. When ConnectionOutput->count is negative, InsertIOV does not actually insert an IOV, and FlushClient goes into an infinite loop of writev(fd, iov, 0) [an empty list]. Avoid this situation by killing the client when it has more than INT_MAX unread bytes of data.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
