This problem is due to a big in the libXt shipped with AIX, I believe,
so there's not much we can do about it. Try building against stock
X11R6.
That's what I ended up doing, building against an X11R6.4 tree. Works
OK modulo the problems I noted before.
Has anybody isolated the XtAddInput() problem far enough to have a test
case I can send to IBM?
If IBM doesn't fix it, do we just say:
1) You're screwed.
2) Figure out how to build X11R6 yourself
3) Get prebuilt libraries from ....
The fact that xemacs and x3270 are linked against non-standard libraries
sorta hurts the shared-library thing.. Last thing I need is *another*
set of libraries in memory. I also havent convinced myself that some
of the other problems I'm seeing (crashes if you don't say
--with-dragndrop=no, for instance) aren't due to the CDE libraries
being dependent on IBM tweaks in libX11.a or libXt.a
