This isn't a POE-specific problem. A web search for the assertion message reveals "About 118,000 results". It's also not limited to Tk. A lot of the web pages mentioning the error are for Gtk+ and other things. "The assertion is an X server assertion. dpy is your display. Not sure what the error is or why it appears to be associated with your sendto. xcb is the X protocol C-language Binding." This discussion seems relevant: http://gtk.10911.n7.nabble.com/Gtkmm-and-fork-td44573.html "You should call _exit() (and incidentally NOT exit()) at the end of the child process. (That is at the end of the if block representing the child process.)" _exit() is POSIX::_exit(). The pattern is that an active X connection is duplicated during a fork() or thread, and then both copies try to do something with the socket. This breaks the X protocol. As far as I can tell from reading several web pages, the solution is either (a) "don't do that" or (b) don't let one of the forks/threads use the socket. If (a) isn't an option, then I'll need a test case to reproduce the problem here.
