After reading `configure --help` I added --with-xim=xlib and it does not
dump core anymore. IMHO configure --help is inconsistent with the
behaviour of configure:
--with-xim=motif (*) Used in conjunction withMule support.
Use either raw Xlib to provide XIM support, or
the Motif XmIm* routines (when available).
NOTE: On some systems bugs in X11's XIM support
will cause XEmacs to crash, so by default,
no XIM support is compiled in, unless running
on Solaris and the XmIm* routines are detected.
Yes, this is incorrect.
I do not run in on Solaris, so it should not use it by default. Of
course another way to fix it is to fix/get rid of OpenMotif.
Note that this was a bug in XEmacs, not [Open]Motif. It should have
been fixed by now, though.
