Hi,

Opening this website with firefox or chromium crashes dwm:
https://twitter.com/TankerTrackers/status/965362640552910849

The error is this:

dwm: fatal error: request code=138, error code=16
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or
internal Xlib length error)
  Major opcode of failed request: 138 (RENDER)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 20 (RenderAddGlyphs)
  Serial number of failed request: 2570
  Current serial number in output stream: 2600

I assume this is because of the barrel character in the title:

title="TankerTrackers.com<barrel character> on Twitter: &quot;BREAKING NEWS!


In FVWM this character is rendered as 4 questionmarks.

I'm running Fedora 27 on amd64 and use dwm commit
db2236001c1cb042a2f24052849da96578273b1c.
