A question for X11/XIM gurus 25 years, 9 months

SL Baur

I've traced down some locale-related coredumps to the following code in _XimPreConnectionIM (xc/lib/X11/imDefIm.c) when LANG=C and the *inputMethod: X resource is set. /* locale name check */ _XGetLCValues(lcd, XlcNLanguage, &language, XlcNTerritory, &territory, XlcNCodeset, &codeset, NULL); llen = strlen( language ); tlen = strlen( territory ); /* <=== Crash occurs here, territory is */ /* NULL */ clen = strlen( codeset ); As near as I can tell, when LANG=C, both territory and codeset are explicitly and unconditionally set to nil in _XlcResolveLocaleName (xc/lib/X11/lcFile.c): if (sinamelen == 1 && pub->siname[0] == 'C') { pub->language = pub->siname; pub->territory = pub->codeset = NULL; return 1; } So why doesn't XEmacs drop core when linked against XIM/XLib (it does with Lesstif)? Both commercial Motif (as linked with Netscape and Java) and Lesstif blow chunks and die.

Maybe it is something like that that changes the bufferening? Jan

When I tried this I got (with olvwm on Linux linked with libc6 and libgpm): gnuclient: Not connected to a tty When I removed the `-nw', I got a new frame. Looks good to me. I would more suspect a WM bug. Colin, could you send in maximal ps output (and including a full ls of /proc/<pid>) of the result of executing `sleep 10000' in the same fashion?

Unless I'm missing something, I wouldn't sweat this Jan. tty programs started from an X Window manager are supposed to lose.

To force the issue to be dealt with. 2. Updating package lisp is easier in small pieces than in big chunks (I keep a fairly slim installed lisp tree -- you almost certainly don't want me building the SUMO distribution). Installing everything only has to be done once. After that it can be updated. So, the issue will be moot after 21.0 release, and in the mean time, we test.

No, though perhaps configure needs to scream bloody murder when it finds an old version.
