    Test Identification CH08/mprqst 1
    Problem Summary TSD4W.00098 Test may fail in a network configuration.
    Problem Text
    This fail occurs only in the network case, not in the local case.
    The fail is due to the fact that the routine winh_harvest(),
    inside the file xtest/src/lib/winh.c, doesn't do any retry after
    XPending returns 0.
    When XPending returns 0, this only means that the client has not received
    a given event so far.
    Instead, the suite assumes that the client has not received,
    and WILL NOT receive, the event.
    We have experimented that the server actually SENDS the event, and the
    client RECEIVES it, but it
    arrives AFTER win_harvest (and the subsequent
    XPending) is called.
    A proof of this is that if we spend a little time before calling
    win_harvest() (e.g. by inserting a printf), the event is correctly found.

    We believe that the loop starting at the first instruction of
    win_harvest(), which is

    while (XPending(display) > 0) {

    should be modified and a wait condition (with a reasonable number of
    retries) should be inserted.

    /tset/CH08/mprqst/mprqst 1 Failed

    Test Description:
    When a MapRequest event is generated, then all clients
    having set SubstructureRedirectMask event mask bits on the
    parent of the window for which the map request was issued
    are delivered a MapRequest event.

    Test Strategy:
    Create clients client2 and client3.
    Build and create window hierarchy.
    Create inferiors with override-redirect set to True.
    Select for ConfigureRequest events using SubstructureRedirectMask.
    Select for no events with client3.
    Map window.
    Verify that no events were delivered.
    Verify that no events were delivered to client3.
    Unmap window.
    Set the override-redirect flag on inferiors to False.
    Attempt to map window.
    Initialize for expected events.
    Verify that a ConfigureRequest event is delivered.
    Verify that no events are delivered to client3.
    Verify members of event structure.
    Verify that no events were delivered to client3.

    Test Information:
    Expected MapRequest event on window 0x400003 from client 0x80bdc70
    Event delivery not as expected
