Xwindows communication fails after a short time

[Clive Maynard]

I have two versions of Raspbian one current Feb 2013 and the latest (2014:01:07 v1.3.4 release)
Using XMing on windows or XQuartz on Mac the Xwindows session falls over after a few minutes with a broken pipe for the new OS and not for the older one
Hardware the same. XMIng and Mac configurations unchanged. ssh configuration the same on each OS. Running the same Python program in each case.

Only message on the terminal is:

root@raspberrypi:~# /etc/X11/Xsession
Write failed: Broken pipe

Running LEDtoggle.py outputting a message every 2 seconds.

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)

GPIO.setup(12,GPIO.OUT)

while(1==1):
    GPIO.output(12,0)
    time.sleep(1)
    GPIO.output(12,1)
    time.sleep(1)
    now = time.localtime()
    print time.asctime(now)

Is this still an issue?

If so, you should report it at https://github.com/RPi-Distro/repo/issues as they track issues with the raspberrypi.org images.
