Any attempt to run this utility on the examples provided or my own programs results in this assertion.
Is this expected behavior of the utility?
FYI: Running bbcsdl x86_64 version on Debian (bullseye).

Re: Utility crossref.bbc
I've not got a linux system to try this on so have no idea...
BUT, I do lurk on the Debian-Users mail list and have noticed that people occasionally come up against issues when "Wayland" (whatever that is) is used instead of the older X11 -- if that makes sense.
The error you're getting is clearly X11-related. I don't know if it means that SDL is incorrectly trying to do something on your system & presuming it's an X11 one when maybe it isn't? Or if SDL needs configured somehow, or something.
It might help if you clarify what you meant by: "Any attempt to run this utility on the examples provided or my own programs results in this assertion" which is ambiguous. You could mean:
the xref utility fails when run on either example programs or your own programs
or: running your own programs (under SDL on your Debian system) also produces this error message.
Does "cursor" in this sense mean the graphic image that represents a mouse pointer? If so, and if the problem lies in SDL (rather than the BBC crossref utility) I'd expect any mouse-using program (or perhaps any mouse-using pogram that overrides the look of the mouse pointer?) would have this problem. So I wonder if you've found other GUI-using programs fail under SDL?
