Remembering a different bug with the same issue I think you should not wrap 
DIB_SetImageBits_24 but just check descr->bits in X11DRV_DIB_SetImageBits()

Something along the lines of:

	unsigned long off;
	unsigned char volatile x;

	__TRY {
		for (off=0;off<descr->sizeImage;off+=PAGE_SIZE) {
			x += ((unsigned char*)descr->bits)[off]
		}
	} ...


Ciao, Marcus
