On PROBLEMS we have this:

| ** Emacs crashes when using the Exceed 6.0 X server.

| If you are using Exceed 6.1, upgrade to a later version.  This was
| reported to prevent the crashes.

On the title version 6.0 is mentioned, but the body says 6.1.

Unless someone can recall what was actually meant, I suggest changing it 
as follows:

** Emacs crashes when using some versions of the Exceed X server.

If you are using Exceed, consider switching to a Free X server such as 
Xming or Cygwin/X
.

Good idea.  I went ahead and changed the entry to something similar.
Thanks.
