There was a bug in the way Info handled the INCR protocol for cut and paste
such that when the protocol was requested it wouldn't work. "The INCR
protocol" is an X mechanism for cutting and pasting large selections
so that the server doesn't get too bogged down when doing large cuts and
pastes.
This is fixed in the "post-July" update, which will/is be called the
"September Update".
