Hi, I have the same problem.
I'm connecting to a Solaris 9 environment with X11 over ssh (or telnet, it doesn't matter).
If I run for instance xterm and hit any key I get the following:

xterm: warning, error event received:
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request: 148 (XKEYBOARD)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (XkbSetNamedIndicator)
  Serial number of failed request: 104
  Current serial number in output stream: 105

I have no way of installing the patch on the Solaris machine since it's a company server.
I'm currently running Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell Optiplex 755 with Intel graphics.
This problem occured after I did a system upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10.
