This happens because of bugs in Gtk+. Gtk+ 2.10 seems to be OK. See bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715.
+** Emacs compiled with Gtk+ may loop forever if a display crashes.
+
+This is related to the bug above. A scenario for this is when emacs is run
+as a server, and an X frame is created. If the X server for the frame
+crashes or exits unexpectedly and an attempt is made to create a new
+frame on another X display, then a Gtk+ error happens in the emacs
+server that results in an endless loop.

** Emacs compiled with Gtk+ crashes on startup on Cygwin.
