      window_image = XGetImage(DSP_str, workspace, x, y, width, height,
			       plane_mask, format);

      where:
	     3) x and y are ints, both equal to 32.
	     4) width and height are unsigned ints, both equal to 512.
  
	It seems that no matter *what* I do, it comes back with an X ERROR
      message about "mismatched parameters" just before it crashes.

The protocol requires that the requested rectangle be wholly contained
in the window, and fully visible on the screen.  Since I have no idea
what geometry your window has, I can't know for sure, but the "parameter
mismatch" error is consistent with asking for an inappropriate rectangle.
Since you don't say what "it" is that crashes, I can't comment on that
aspect.  If it is the server crashing, please submit a bug report to
xbugs@athena.mit.edu.
