Subject: Preventing re-use of jmp_buf?


I've got a bug report in the X libraries where a code path accidentally
re-used a jmp_buf as a parameter to longjmp. This caused quite the
confusing error report.

Would it be reasonable to have longjmp modify jmp_buf on the way through
so that a second usage could be trapped?
