Who knows; could be any number of problems. Never seen it in any
version of fvwm with anything but tgif though :-/.

Agreed; in both X11R5 and X11R6 (note these are straight from MIT; we
build them locally from the public sources) that value is 35, and there
are only 35 events listed (0 to 34).
So it seems to be a bug in the X server, or the tgif code, or fvwm, or
_something_ that lets a value of 64 get into that variable; it shouldn't
hold values that high.
I'll try recompiling tgif and see if it breaks after that.
